Focus On What Makes Your Beer Taste Insanely Better

Introduction

The title of this post is inspired by a quote from Jeff Bezos, founder and former CEO of Amazon, who gave a keynote about ‘focus' to startups in the Y Combinator (YC) 2008 cohort.

In the keynote, he talks about 20th-century European beer breweries that made their beer using the newly discovered electric power. At the time, there were no utilities or power grids, so breweries had to become experts in electricity generation to benefit from it.

The irony? This focus on electricity didn't improve their core product-the beer. One could argue it was a distraction.

When utility companies later emerged and began generating power, the next wave of breweries could focus entirely on making better beer. They crushed the competition. The lesson: focus on what differentiates your business-what makes your beer taste better.

How This Level of Focus Can Help You

Bidsstack is making electricity, so you don't have to. We want you to focus on what makes your beer taste better. Focus on the attributes your customers care about-everything else is not worth your focus.

Our app site already solves the problem of finding tenders in a clean, ad-free, and cost-effective (free) manner-but we don't want to stop there.

We have built Watchlist to better inform you when changes to a tender occur. Simply buy some Bidsstack Credits and include the tender in your watchlist we'll take care of the rest. Every day we compare your watchlist tenders against our master list. If there are updates, we'll notify you.

Our next big product is NotifyPlus, our take on tender alerts via email. Yes, there are many services offering tender emails-but we're taking it to the next level. Our mission is to remove all the admin related to finding tenders.

The central question we ask ourselves is: what are we doing to ensure that you can focus on your core offering?

The central question you should ask yourself is: “Does this task of searching for tenders make my beer taste insanely great?” If the answer is even a slight no, send us an email at support@bidsstack.com.
