  6. Fishbowl: Defining and Measuring Experiments

    At our last company one of the things we felt quite challenged with was actually running structured experiments instead of practicing open ended learning.

    I'd like to learn from others how you've defined experiments, from "Lets get 20 people in customer interviews to commit to paying $20/mo" to "We expect a 30% conversion rate to paid from emailing our signup list" to "Changing the call-to-action will result in 5% more sales", etc.

    I'll also share the Validated Learning Board, a Kan-ban based approach for having an Experiment Dashboard we use at Spark59 (based on LSM's work & others).

  7. Presenting your business using the business model canvas

    We're starting to see canvases used in presentations on a regular basis, and just like any other visual tool, it can be used well or poorly. I'd love to present a few tips and tricks I've picked up (for 5 minutes) then have a few founders give it a try (1 minute each!) and have a few investors in the room give quick feedback on how to improve our techniques. We'd probably have room for 3-5 pitches, with feedback, so we can improve our techniques together as we go.

  11. 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

  16. 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?
