Samsung MoDev Keynote
Before we get started please install the Speek
mobile app from your app store
You’ll need it later for the demo
Hi, my name is Danny Boice
I am the Co-Founder & CTO of Speek
I am from Washington, DC
I love rap music
I hate conference calls
Conference Calls Suck
Speek makes Conference Calls Fast & Easy
Speek has Web, Android, iPhone and Windows
Phone apps
Our goal is to make Speek available
EVERYWHERE
Speek has raised $3 Million
We have hosted over 100,000 callers
For over 10,000,000 minutes
We are growing around 50% monthly
Speek is 1 year old
Biggie is going to
tell you how we
launched
"It was all a dream.."
Translation: We started with
nothing more than an idea.
"Call the crib, same number,
same hood, and it’s all good."
Translation: We validated our
idea before we built a product
(Lean Startup).
"We used to fuss when the
landlord dissed us."
Translation: We needed to
raise $$. Fundraising
SUCKS.
"Mo Money Mo Problems"
Translation: We raised our $
$. Now the real work starts.
"F—ck it, I didn’t wanna go to
heaven anyway."
Translation: You need an “A”
team. Hire fast. Fire Fast.
"Got introduced to the game,
got an ounce, and f—ckin’
blew up."
Translation: Your team is
more than employees.
Mentors & Advisors are key.
"I’m living everyday like a
hustle. Another drug to
juggle, another day another
struggle."
Translation: Running a
freemium model startup is a
lot like selling crack
"Blowin' up like you thought I
would"
Translation: Things are going
quite well.
Ridiculously easy
conference calls
Guaranteed to increase your
productivity
Painless Web-based conferencing tool…
works like a charm
Make business calls not just bearable, but
easier and visual
Conference call service that all you
entrepreneurial types will love
“A more logical and web-oriented approach to coordinating
calls. I might stop giving out my phone number altogether.”
Speek makes the conference call experience
much more pleasant
Apps that set successful entrepreneurs free
Top 25 Startups of the Year 100 Most Brilliant Companies
Demo

Editor's Notes

  1. introduce myself
  2. elevator pitch
  3. overview of where speek is today
  4. I'm going to tell you how we started speek up and got out of beta and post revenue using the words of Biggie Smalls
  5. Talk about the idea behind speek - john and I were sitting around talking about how bad conference calls suck and had the link concept
  6. Talk about the idea behind speek - john and I were sitting around talking about how bad conference calls suck and had the link concept
  7. Talk about the the lean startup methodology approach we took and how we validated our assumptions that people would use a link instead of phone numbers to dial in
  8. We heard "no" from literally 100's of VC's and 100's of other people told us we were crazy. our market was too saturated, they had concerns about our business model. We just kept marching along and thought of raising our first round like any other sales process - high touch
  9. We heard "no" from literally 100's of VC's and 100's of other people told us we were crazy. our market was too saturated, they had concerns about our business model. We just kept marching along and thought of raising our first round like any other sales process - high touch
  10. We raised our first round - $1.5mm on a convertible note - which was crossing a major first hurdle but that was just the beginning now the microscope got bigger and we had to figure things out before the money ran out
  11.
