Founders at Work

By Floris WolswijkPublished Edited 1 min read
In brief

Brief draft notes on startup lessons: creating value, adapting to users, perseverance, and finding a good co-founder. The entry collects a few ideas worth carrying forward rather than offering a full review.

DRAFT – taken from Evernote 26/02/15

Startups create value
Start with a sprint, then slow down the least!
Don’t look productive (e.g. suits, business meetings), be productive instead
Founders were unsure that they were onto something big
Perseverence / determination is factor nr 1
Adaptable nr 2 – never lose sight of what the users want
Have a good co-founder
Tips: 1) write a business plan, 2) don’t expect users to change behavior too much
Learn what makes you valuable
Every time you save on part you save on complexity (queal makkelijker)
Best things came from 1) not having money, 2) not having done it before
