“More startups fail
from a lack of
customers than from a
failure
of product
development.”

watching something,
talk(ing) to people,

Preach & Practice
▪ Get customer input before building
& launching your product/startups
▪ Founders must get out of the
building
▪ Build products customers actually
want, more quickly & cheaply
