The Big Picture
** Yes, this was blatantly stolen from Ash Maurya & "Running Lean" - Be cool

First World Problem/s
1. Beers
We were drinking on a Tuesday. Who does that?
2. NYC
We were travelling on "business" for our boring corporate
gig.
3. And somewhat off topic.....The experience of
dialing into a conference call sucks and
everyone hates it.

4.
Solution Hypothesis
People would rather join conference calls by going to a link
- like www.speek.com/danny - than by dialing a 10 digit
phone number, then a conference id and/or a PIN.

5.
Validating Assumptions
We did over 30 customer interviews before we designed a
single pixel or wrote a single line of code.
** Yup, this too was shamelessly stolen from Ash Maurya & "Running Lean" - Sue me

Our Butt Ugly MVP
• Designed it using Balsamiq the first day of SXSW
(While drinking that night too)
• Developed it and pushed to AWS before we left SXSW
(Even more drinking)
• Hid our ugly baby behind a free LaunchRock landing
page and let people in manually
• Interviewed every single one of these early
users(Hoped they weren't drinking)
• Wanna See it?

Wanna See It?
** This was definitely NOT stolen - trust me
