The Tagline

A LinkedIn co-founder explores the counterintuitive rules of scaling.

Full Review

Reid Hoffman co-founded LinkedIn, was an early investor in Facebook and Airbnb, and is one of the most connected people in Silicon Valley. Masters of Scale uses a unique narrative format where Reid weaves his own thesis about scaling with conversations featuring Mark Zuckerberg, Brian Chesky, and Eric Schmidt. The production is cinematic — more like a documentary series than a traditional interview show. The insights on network effects, blitzscaling, and platform strategy are drawn from genuine firsthand experience.

Fun Fact

Reid Hoffman wrote the book Blitzscaling with Chris Yeh, arguing that speed of scaling is more important than efficiency — a thesis that has been both vindicated (Uber, Airbnb) and challenged (WeWork) by real-world outcomes.
