  1. @pfreet Hmmm... next startup: iChicken
  2. @mitchfree But you did listen to your customers, didn't you? You responded to a real, vocalized need with innovation - right?
  3. @mmealling I think if young people focused on our verticals, they'd be more likely to avoid the multi-year big failure rite of passage.
  4. @mmealling You think the Space Angel network could be a fore-runner, for other kinds of startup funding?
  5. @mmealling Me too. I hope that Enterprise Lounge does that.
  6. @mmealling Don't think Steve Blank has a problem with you validating a product w a real customer in Timbuktu :) Didn't see that in the book.
  7. @mmealling Funding, founding and hiring is still very much local.
  8. @mmealling On the other hand, if you need mentoring and funding to grow a business and don't want to leave... maybe the vertical matters.
  9. @mmealling Point taken: if you've been a high level exec at NWA, and have customers all over the place already, no need to think locally.
  10. @mmealling They were already his customers.
  11. @mmealling Customer development doesn't mean don't invent. It means invent based on concrete needs of real customers - which he did.
  12. @mmealling According to his about page, he listened to manufacturers asking for customers, and customers looking for manufacturers.
  13. Throwing away some PHP because it gives no useful debug output, and lacks MVC sanity.
  14. @joshsweeney My dad replaces all parts in his, one at a time and... it still fails intermittently. Things are junk.
  15. Ok, bailing on twitter for the rest of the day.
  16. Here's another thing - we need FASTER recombinant DNA. Faster failures, quicker pooling of more founders per company.
  17. "Dude, what are you doing still working on that? MOVE ON." We need to say that to one another.
  18. Why does our entrepreneur support infrastructure SUPPORT fail slow? That is holding us back. Need to slap one another out of slow failure.
  19. @pfreet That is correct, and somewhat profound. Problem is - part time, in ATL, that 1st failure can drag on for years. Fail slow. Problem.
  20. @mikeschinkel I wasn't quoting PG.
