Solve Unstructured Problems


Balaji Srinivasan’s brother, Ramji Srinivasan, taught him an important skill—solving unstructured problems.

Using the meta-algorithm Balaji calls "list, rank, iterate."

Turn your problem into a "how or who" question. Make a list of ways to solve that problem.

If you need to fundraise, then make a list of VCs. Develop a function to rank the list objectively. Once it’s ranked, iterate through the list until your problem is solved. Set a Bounded Commitments|limit and if the outcome you wanted has not been achieved by the end of it, come up with a new strategy.
