The mission @AJ_Piplica and his team at @hermeuscorp are on is ambitious: to build autonomous Mach 5 aircraft for national defense and Mach 5 commercial flight to shrink the world. AJ's strategy for getting his company to the victory condition hinges on the concept of asymmetry: an outsized, unmatched, decisive advantage in the context of a specific game. In defense, it allows a country to deter conflict, and, when it must fight, win quickly. In tech and business, it allows insurgent startups to leverage their natural advantages to disrupt incumbents, create revolutionary products, and build massively valuable companies along the way, even when the odds are massively stacked against them. Today, exclusive for Pirate Wires, AJ lays out tactics for creating asymmetry, and explains why, at the end of the day, having an advantage over the competition isn’t enough: winning means relentlessly innovating even after you’re miles ahead of everyone else. Essential reading for founders and startup leaders. Check it out today on our site. 👇
