Open question: How do I measure customer acquisition for in-bound marketing?
The "funnel" was a customer acquisition concept built around outbound marketing, but it's clear now that customers take a far greater initiative than they used to. McKinsey's Customer Decision Journey outlines exactly why managing customer acquisition with a funnel approach is flawed, but what measurable management techniques have or can replace it? This is an open question - I'd love it if anyone using in-bound marketing could share their approach.

Great idea vs Market Opportunity
Before any inventor or would be entrepreneur starts building their company, they need some to do some solid market research. While some ideas may be 'novel' or 'cool' - its more important that there's actually a market for the product or service. Would like to share my experience on how best to calculate the 'market opportunity value' for any new business opportunity @conormckenna

Building an Anti-Fragile startup that leverages contingencies
The concept of Anti-Fragility, or building something that improves when the unexpected or variability is put upon it, has clear connections to starting a company that takes over a market quickly.
One of the core Effectuation principles is Leverage Contingencies.
So - if a founder wants to actively create an Anti-Fragile startup that can pounce on the right growth opportunity when it arises, what does that look like? How do the founders manage their time and resources? How can past examples and tools from Effectuation help?
I'm less familiar with these topics than I'd like to be, but Thomas Blekman,…

Pitching your app or startup to the media
A good pitch to the media can be the difference between getting coverage and being completely ignored. How should you approach journalists and what should you say? More importantly, what should you definitely NOT say? Martin Bryant, Editor-in-Chief at The Next Web, explains.

Your Product is your Team. Period
Of course in a startup it's important to confirm the viability of the Business Model. Of course you must reach your Product/Market Fit as soon as possible. Of course you must achieve all that points before you run aout of money but...
Your real goal must be to create a TEAM!
A Team is much more than a group of people with diferent skills who can work to achieve goals told before. A Team is a sincronized unit capable to work on what they believe really cares, true to their values and principles.
Benefits and Scalability are consecuences not Goals…

Waking up dead projects: the dragon within
As a founder or co-founder of startups you may have dead projects in your closet. It is my case and for some of them it bothers me that they are staying in the closet.
Why did they die? It could be that you ran out of money, that you had a major disagreement with a team member, that a major resource abandoned ship, that you pivoted, etc.
But in the back of my mind, I still feel that they have some potential, and there is all this development which has already been done, etc.
Is this feeling shared by other…

Extremely big MVPs
"Minimal" doesn't mean "small", although it's often read in that way. I'd like to hear someone argue about why they chose to make a humongous MVP and why that was prudent given the circumstances.

Channel Development
Congratulations. You've used customer development to attain the product/market fit - now what?
Even assuming your awesome product really is as awesome as you think, you are competing for a finite amount of customer dollars, time, and attention. How are you going to break through the clutter to reach your customer, get their attention, and get them to open their wallet?
Unless you’re Facebook, you are going to need channel partners to get your product to market, at lease initially. How do you find a channel partner for your product, and how do you get that channel partner to distribute…

"how can Ireland use its ICT cluster expertise to harness and exploit new global opportunities based on Ireland's significant Ocean Territory (10X Ireland's landmass). These opportunities fall into new emerging ocean markets such as renewable energy, water and environmental monitoring and into enabling established ocean markets : aquaculture, oil & gas, costal tourism, & shipping & security" Can we use lean methodologies in these expensive ventures?

I'm wondering how @destraynor's Intercom could be used on @robfitz's whattowrite.org to help improve his funnel...
What To Write actually started out as a workshop, but when people do it online, a smaller percentage complete. What if Rob could chat with those people to find out what's going on? How could Intercom help here?

Running the Spirit
Kicking of an idea usually starts in a highly motivated environment. But when the going gets tough, we tend to focus on the mechanics of our process, trying to meet the target by working even harder. In such situations things like continuous improvement and creative environments tend to taking a back seat.
What are the tools & techniques we can apply to avoid this trap? What works well? Maybe a chance even trying some things out or generating some new tools?
