In this episode of Power Players, Brian Sozzi sits down with the entrepreneur behind Zynga and FarmVille to discuss why speed beats perfection, how failure at Tribe.net led to one of the biggest gaming companies in history, and why the best founders obsess over rapid iteration instead of chasing originality.
Pincus also reflects on working alongside Mark Zuckerberg during Facebook’s earliest days, founder mode, startup culture, scaling organizations, and the mindset behind his new book, “Life at the Speed of Play”.
