$100-Million Lessons from AWS and Lyft
Manage episode 240834097 series 2536260
Each month, “Ammirati on Innovation” episodes will look at ways that the disruptive-startup mentality is spreading beyond young entrepreneurs to big established corporations. Serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist and Carnegie Mellon B-school professor Sean Ammirati, who sits at the intersection of these high-change dynamics, provides insight.
Episode 1
In this episode, Sean and I discuss what innovation looks like in 2019: where it’s coming from, who gets funding for their ideas and how, and why cloud has been so transformative in terms of the business models for entrepreneurs and innovators. Sean also shares his thoughts on the recent story about Lyft and Amazon’s $8-million-per-month partnership for AWS services. (Spoiler alert: he thinks it’s worth every penny.)
Sean Ammirati is a partner at Birchmere Ventures, which focuses on both SaaS and consumer internet investments, as well as their Birchmere Labs initiative. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School, and hosts a podcast series called “Agile Giants.”
