Michigan Lean Startup Conference

May 17, 2012, Grand Rapids MI

  1. #leanstartupmi @thinknow is an excellent presenter with good rapport with the audience. Vital in a presentation late in the day
  2. "done at the last responsible moment" or "just in time" @thinknow
  3. @thinknow Pair interview users. One builds rapport the other takes notes.#leanstartupmi
  4. #leanstartupmi @thinknow: just listen to potential customers' stories to learn problems and opportunities for customer development
  5. All I can think about while @thinknow is talking about video recording is @CollabraCam #leanstartupmi #checkitout
  6. .@thinknow breaking down UX to it's core. "UX contains many disciplines" #leanstartupmi @luxrco
  7. Graphic design vs experience design: you can't skin an ugly product and hit success. "You can't just it with a pretty stick" @thinknow
  8. #leanstartupmi @thinknow design is more than just hitting your product with the "pretty stick"
  9. Design is more than visual design. You can't beat your app with a pretty stick. #leanstartupmi @thinknow
  10. Right on! "You can't just hit it with a pretty stick" @thinknow #leanstartupmi
  11. My mentor and friend @thinknow is our one and only lady to grace the #leanstartupmi stage, and what lady to have represent us. #GoLane
  12. Per @byosko important to establish Lean Startup DNA early. Devs resistant to cold-calling people. Success persuades. #leanstartupmi @luxrco
  13. "Scoble effect" - what happens when @scobleizer mentions your app at #sxswi favorably and it blows up @byosko #leanstartupmi @luxrco
  14. Per @byosko Customer development takes longer than people realize. #leanstartupmi @luxrco
  15. Per @byosko Year One Labs funding laddered, learning based. $10K to validate idea, $20K to build MVP $20K to scale. #leanstartupmi @luxrco
  16. Per @byosko early assumption was Year One could take on baked teams and ideas. Teams need more support than expected. #leanstartupmi @luxrco
