There is a new approach to growing startups popularized by Eric Ries: "Lean Startup". Basic idea is that each startup should be as flexible as possible, should create rapid prototypes and test market assumptions using these prototypes. Flexibility is key to success (or at least to find out that your idea is not that good :-).
Bayram and Oleg will explain how this approach is being used in Empatika and will present a real story about Squeek app they developed and marketed.
Key topics covered:
1. Lean Startup - a new approach to growing startups
2. Flexibility is key to success
3. Pivots: don't afraid to fail
4. Key performance indicators (KPI) for an IT startup
6. Lessons Learned and action items.

Happy weekend!
Trust the power of Plone and build the trust in customers, colleagues and friends. Plone is, for many aspects, such a good product that it fails sometimes in presenting itself right. We can do a better job, of course. The talk will present common communication/sales problems and practices to try to solve some of these problems; through examples and case studies it will try to give arguments and ideas to those willing to spread the Plone word.
