The AI-Powered Formula for Startup Success

In this video, we unveil Revolut founder Nik Storonsky's groundbreaking AI-driven startup playbook - a systematic blueprint that helped build a $45 billion neobank by analyzing thousands of successful startups. Discover how this data-driven approach transforms traditional organizational development into a precise science, while maintaining the human elements crucial for sustainable growth.

Follow along as we break down the seven fundamental principles that power high-performance organizations, from strategic A-player deployment to innovative compensation structures. Learn how Revolut's methodology combines CEO-driven performance management, multi-dimensional evaluation systems, and parallel experimentation to create a framework that consistently delivers exceptional results.

Key takeaways include:
• How to strategically deploy A-players who deliver 3-5x more value and manage underperformers through proven protocols
• Why CEO-driven performance management, using a three-dimensional evaluation grid, outperforms traditional HR approaches
• The power of running 27 simultaneous product experiments with small independent teams while maintaining clear promotion paths
