Discover how traditional budgeting practices can stifle innovation and slow product delivery. This video explores the difference between entitlement funding and metered funding, showing how adopting a customer-focused, milestone-driven approach can unlock creativity, urgency, and real results for your organization.

The problem with entitlement funding
Many organizations rely on entitlement funding, where projects continue year after year regardless of results. This creates perverse incentives, discourages teams from taking risks, and leads to delays in delivering products to customers. Even well-intentioned teams often prioritize perfection over progress.

The power of metered funding
Metered funding, as used in Silicon Valley, provides discrete rounds of financing with clear criteria to unlock more resources. Funding is linked to validated learning from customers, shifting teams from entitlement to scarcity. This encourages creativity, urgency, and meaningful outcomes.

Driving corporate transformation
Adopting metered funding is just one step in a broader corporate transformation. By integrating clear processes, milestones, and accountability, organizations can move from bureaucratic inertia to a system that prioritizes customer impact, speed, and continuous innovation.
