Very late notice, but I have been busy running a startup. I’m joining my friends Leila Boujnane (@leilaboujnane) and Satish Kanwar (@skanwar) tonight at the Inside the Lean Startup event at MaRS. We’ll be chatting about our startups. The customer development process. And some of the tools we use. If you’re not in Austin for SxSW, and you need to get out of the garage/basement/office and chat with others that are struggling/succeeding/striving/doing it to. Come out tonight.
You might also consider checking out the AppSumo Lean #SxSW Bundle which includes access to a set of tools I use including:
- VentureHacks Bible
- Sean Ellis & Andrew Chen’s LeanPub books
- Twilio
- KissMetrics
- 99designs
- Batchbook (time to try this again thanks to jealousy over BMann’s German efficiency)
Plus there are some new tools that I’m excited to try:
The 2 books that are not included in the Lean SxSW Bundle that are must reads:
- Steven Blank’s The Four Steps to the Epiphany #mustread
- The Entrepreneur´s Guide to Customer Development for Tech Startups:A “cheat sheet” to The Four Steps to the Epiphany #mustread
