Mark Zuckerberg on the importance of engineers if youโre building a technology company Many startups define themselves too narrowly. Mark Zuckerberg noticed this early on in Silicon Valleyโmany so-called "tech companies" werenโt truly tech-driven. Their CEOs werenโt technical, and their boards lacked technical expertise. Mark believes that to be a real tech company, you need a strong foundation of engineers. That doesnโt mean every team member has to be technical, but without enough engineers, youโre not truly a technology company. His approach at Meta revolves around one core strategy: learning faster than the competition. He believes that the company that learns the fastest will build the best products, release them first, gather feedback quickly, and improve based on what people want. The formula for success? 1. Think like a tech company โ Have a strong engineering foundation. 2. Learn fast โ The faster you adapt, the better your product. 3. Iterate quickly โ Keep improving based on real-world feedback. For startups, this means focusing on technology, hiring the right people, and building a culture of rapid learning and iteration. Thatโs how you win.
