If Startup Founders were The Avengers
written by Kaila Yu with lots of help from Tyler Turner
Elon Musk would be The Iron Man
Ok we arent the first to come up with this analogy but the most obvious choice for the leader of the Avengers Iron Man is Elon Musk. Both Tony Stark and Elon Musk are billionaire industrialists linked to beautiful women. Like Iron Man, Musk is highly skilled at thinking outside of the box and has dedicated his life to saving the world through lofty ambitions. They are both leaders, business superhero, inventor, and passionate about space travel. Wait! Did Elon Musk base his career off The Iron Man Comic?
Tim Ferriss would be The Hulk
Tim Ferriss is a famous angel investor in the start-up scene. Like Hulk’s alter ego Bruce Banner he has famously made himself as a human lab rat on his television show The Tim Ferriss Experiment. By day Ferriss is a self professed nerd, by night he becomes a freak! Luckily none of Ferris’s experiments have backfired as badly as Banner’s did……yet!
Sophia Amoruso would be The Black Widow
Both are expert tacticians, adept at strategy and complicated analysis in a fast paced world. Sophie Amoruso, called the Cinderella of tech by the New York Times, mastered Ebay, Myspace and Facebook to launch a new model of online fashion clothing sales and Nasty Gal was a runaway success.
Kayvon Beykpour would be The Falcon
The Falcon has a psychic connection with the birds of the world — giving him six billion pairs of eyes for spying. Similarly Kayvon Beykpour has linked up with the famous Twitter bird and his live streaming hit app Periscope allows him (and us) to have billions of eyes internationally
Gary Vaynerchuk would be The Wolverine
Ok well, Wolverine isn’t in the movie adaptation of The Avengers but…….. he was a member of The Avengers in the comic – and we say that counts! Both Vaynerchuk and Wolverine are known for their brutish natures, intensity, passion and aggression. Surprisingly they both also operate from an innate code of honor and sincerity
We couldn’t find a founder who was a perfect fit as our Thor! Who do you think would make a perfect fit for Thor? We’d love to hear from YOU, our readers!
