"In this talk I'd like to explain why many startups fail when trying to build a product with fancy code and a "scalable" solution before learning what business/design needs they're trying to solve. Actually, it's not only for startups, it's also for you, as designer or developer. Why we should understand our ideas is more likely to fail than succeed? This is for sure much more important than learning Material Design, ReactJS or any other buzzword of our field."

11. In the past I couldn’t explain
why we failed, because…
• The idea was nice;
• We had an amazing Engineering team;
• Good dev. infrastructure;
• The team mastered
Agile development techniques;
• Design process dream.
12. So, what was wrong?
Today, I have a few
hypothesis about
the why…
26. We focused on building
prototypes to validate
that our vision was
technically feasible.
Instead, we should have
released something.
