Whether you’re the founder of a high-flying Silicon Valley tech startup, or a solopreneur in a hyper-specific niche, all of the frameworks, mental models, and Category Design strategies still apply.
Category Design isn’t reserved for early-stage startups. C-level, VP, or mid-level managers all have the potential to play crucial roles in helping a company create and/or defend their category position.
If you are a writers, podcasters, speakers, or Digital Creator of any kind, then you must become known for a niche you own. Success isn’t about being “better” than everyone else. It’s about being different!
Every other week, we publish a mini-book (5,000-10,000+ words) on the subject of Category Design. This is where you will find Non-Obvious, radically different ideas, and new ways of thinking about how to unlock exponential opportunities in your business and life.
Once a week, we publish a roundup of core concepts from our mini-books. This is where you’ll discover new connections between ideas and frameworks, with examples from companies applying (or failing to apply) Category Design principles.
Once a week, we zero-in on one topic to further explain how you can apply it to your own work. This is where you’ll see real-world examples of how to use Category Design frameworks, mental models, and examples to define and dominate your category.
Every other week, we publish a Pirate Profile—a series spotlighting legendary Category Designers across a wide range of industries and disciplines who shaped the world we live in today. Because the best way to become a Pirate is to study other Pirates.
