Founders Create Value Through Coordination and Deals
This Quo Vadis essay argues that a CEO-founder’s primary job is coordination and deal-making — aligning customers, employees, investors, partners and suppliers to create value — rather than merely building product features. Using examples from adtech (including CTV and agentic advertising), the piece explains how superior coordination multiplies network effects and enterprise value, and why large platforms win by making it easy for marketers to allocate capital. The newsletter also announces three industry events: the Advertising Economic Forum at Horizon Media on October 6 during Advertising Week 2026, the Landmark Ventures SMART Summit at Yankee Stadium on September 22, and a Quo Vadis lunch on October 7 sponsored by pubX where pubX will unveil agent-to-agent advertising capabilities.
