How does striking a balance between revolution and evolution increase the success rate for startups? View the full video interview here.
Shreesha Ramdas is an entrepreneurial executive with a track record of launching and growing products in competitive markets, general management experience in product development, Growth Hacking, and go-to-market strategy & execution. He is currently incubating a startup, Lumber.
In today’s nervous tech investor space, Shreesha believes the trend is for most startups to not pursue new, pioneering technologies for brand new markets, but technological advancements that can recast existing markets and applications. There is still value and opportunity in staking claim to something new, appealing to tech visionaries, but the risk is greater than what many can afford.
CEOs and company founders, especially at early-stage startups, should take the approach of looking for the holes in what already exists and is understood. Evolution is easier than revolution, even if the innovation itself is revolutionary. It is far easier to radically improve something than create something from nothing.
On this episode of dojo.live, Shreesha Ramdas will explain how he is applying these principles to his latest startup, Lumber, and discuss the balance between revolution and evolution to hack growth opportunities for the greatest success. He will provide some principles to consider, lessons learned, and real-life examples.

Michael McCarthy, CEO of Inkit, previously worked in the banking and financial industry. As a result, he had a behind-the-scenes view of how big players operate. This work led him to two realizations:
- Companies waste so much time, money, and paper because of inefficient or unnecessary processes. So why not use tech to solve that problem?
- Companies that replace paper-based processes usually use inflexible and inconsistent infrastructure that cause wasted work hours and leaky security. Organizations add system after system. The result? A big problem that only grows bigger. Could there be a streamlined solution?
Fortunately, Michael saw three critical missing pieces. What if companies had:
- A way to automate and optimize paper-based communications.
- A central point that lets you generate and store paperless documents from as many systems as you like.
- The technology to distribute all that digital paperwork securely to the right stakeholders [Document Streaming].
