In this program Eric Ries teaches you the lean startup ideas that saved his business when customers hated his product.
You gotta imagine a seventeen-year-old teenage girl sitting down with us to look at this product. So she downloads the product, we have her install it on the computer, and we’re like “okay, it’s time to check it out, you know, invite one of your friends to chat.” If you’re reading Mixergy, I know you routinely work hours that most people don’t know exist. Imagine if you spent all that time building your business–plus risked

Chris Dixon wrote a blog post last week titled, “ Techies and Normals ” in which he defined “Techies” as people who are not just “early adopters” but also have more of a geeky, technical, product bent. Normals Normals (or “Muggles” as Catarina Fake called them) are people who, unlike Techies, don’t just use products simply because they’re infatuated with them and with showing the world how cool it is that they’re using the latest tech product. They They use products because the products solve a need they have.

Somehow, as Luke Burgis raced to build his business, he ended up selling fitness bars, cereal, pet supplements and "sexual enhancement" products. know that, if you absorb the lessons from his experience, you'll avoid making similar mistakes as you build your company.

Jeff Fluhr and his friend from school got together and created a company called StubHub which they built up and sold to eBay. But, you know, I think it wasn't until after my first real company StubHub that people, I think, thought of me in that light.

In 2000, people had all kinds of assumptions about buying and selling tickets to events. They assumed it was illegal or that they'd get ripped off or that it was a small-time business run by guys who stood outside of stadiums.
