“Apple“ is too heavy： most difficult to gain acceptance after the Apple turnover，

The Silicon Valley tech giants Google, Yahoo, Apple, not only to lead a wave of global technology, itself become technology professionals a "Huangpu Military Academy." Such as the famous "the PayPal mafia" (entrepreneurs), are derived from the former PayPal Executive and founder.

However, the surprise is that the star company's former employees of Apple, successfully started the new company far less than other companies, but the general trend is a handful. Why is there such a phenomenon, before California's Silicon Valley media posts analyzed the ink venturi news, reasons for include excessive culture of secrecy and Apple-specific operating characteristics of internal management, and so on.

Apple introduced a number of innovations to the market every year, consumer electronics, and set off in the global buying spree. In accordance with the general idea, Apple is so good, young talent if you exercise in the Apple a few years and then start your own business, this is a good plan.

In fact, however, this idea may be wrong. Apple hardware and software at the big technology companies in their own closed ecological system, provides a large number of all sections, not only makes it difficult for third parties to adapt, also makes Apple employees in business setbacks.

Employees from Apple to leave MacNeice, Louis (MattMacInnis), has experience on this. In 2009, he founded Inkling after leaving the company, mainly to help other companies to publish content on the iPad and other mobile devices.

At Apple, all the important decisions from the top executives, corporate culture of confidentiality is the most important. This culture and technology venture formed by conflict. Young entrepreneurs not only need quick decisions quickly and requires more communication media and technology, promote their products and services.

MacNeice, Louis said: "when I left Apple, got a lot of bad habits. "Habit, for example for reasons of confidentiality, is not willing to deal with the media and all of a sudden you want to do all their own decisions, not very used," I spent a lot of years to get rid of the bad habit. ”

From maikenisi's body, you can see the Apple experience, to bring some people with entrepreneurial dreams with strange "burden"

Apple gave birth to a large number of outstanding scientific and technological products, became a hotbed of technological innovation, but a fact that is hard to deny that Apple "pregnancy" alarmingly low number out of new technology companies.

Apple's culture of secrecy-oriented, Silicon Valley, and alien to the spirit of openness and cooperation. Some people in the industry point out that Apple does not seem to be a part of the Silicon Valley technology industry, but building your own "Tech Valley".

Apple release new products every year, often with media coverage of the report and concerns. However the development of these outstanding products of Apple employees, for the outside world is almost "hidden". Many employees, working at Apple is not able to establish connections, but after leaving office and start over.

Senior industry Jia Neisen at Menlo Ventures (VenkyGanesan), due to the internal security and separation of business and other reasons, on the network, Apple employees and has been lagging behind compared to other entrepreneurs.

The VC who said, Apple is like a maze, but in Silicon Valley, technology never follow "what you know, not knowing what" rule to work, after the Apple turnover, will hit the "culture shock" is difficult to adapt to.

Turnover in Silicon Valley there is also a common phenomenon in the business, after the large technology company mergers and acquisitions of small companies, over a period of time due to internal reasons the small company's executives chose to leave business.

Historically, Apple external acquisitions are not interested in acquisitions limited (Cook led $ 3 billion bid Beats electronics companies, become Apple's largest external deals). It also reduced after leaving again from Apple's case.

According to some in the venture and former Apple employee says Apple's compensation and benefit improvement, coupled with the ever-rising share prices (many employees have stock or options), which leads to many Apple employees are not willing to risk leaving the entrepreneurial risk.

In terms of large technology company founded a new company, there is no accurate statistical data. But Jia Neisen estimates, compared with Google, Yahoo, PayPal and other, number of new company founded by former employees of Apple, less about half.

The coincidence is, known as the "father of the iPod" by del Nest smart home company was founded after leaving Apple, smart thermostats and smoke detectors, Google recently invested more than 3 billion dollars to buy a Nest, and as creating ecological Android smart home platform company.

However it is to be noted that, as a whole, founded Apple turnover less entrepreneurial phenomenon, limited the number of new companies, but this does not mean that former Apple employee successful entrepreneurs and executives did not appear.

In Apple's huge success, credited direct retail store mode. However, Apple employees Waldman (JaronWaldman) believes that modern young consumers have to store product browsing experience is not much interested. In 2013, Waldman from the Apple turnover, started Curbside companies, consumers in the Bay area of California, directly through a mobile phone the client ordering merchandise from department stores such as target, and then quickly in front of the retailer shop goods, so as to avoid the trouble of browsing, shopping, checkout queue.

Such Inkling company founded by former Apple employee Mackness, implementation and opposed to Apple's corporate culture. Mackness insist on full transparency within the company, he introduces employees to the business operations of every quarter, he gave decision-making authority to the front-line staff, instead of all top-level executives like Apple makes the decision.
