GET
EXCITED
AND
MAKE
THINGS
MATTHEW
BISCHOFF
HE LLO
 my name is




Matt
GET
EXCITED
What excites you?
CAPTURE
THOUGHTS
STEAL
IDEAS
Ideas are worthless.
Products solve problems.
MAKE
THINGS
90%
of everything
   is crap.
1. Make it work.
2. Make it right.
3. Make it fast.
Details matter.
Users are people.
LESS IS MORE
LESS IS BETTER
“If you make everything bold,
        nothing is bold.”
Be useful.
“We don’t need any
 more fart apps.”
Build a great team.
Even if it’s just you.
Don’t take $.
Don’t make $.
“But Matt, I’m busy.”
You’re not busy.
You’re gonna suck.
“You don’t work
for a dollar, you
 work to create
 and have fun.”
