Launching your product or startup: a framework
Track: Entrepreneurship, thursday 17:00 - 17:50
Launch. The process is vital to any product or startup's success, but it's difficult to get information from founders who've lived through it. Get answers to your questions, from the co-founder of a funded startup that recently had to answer all these questions: When should you launch? Should you launch a "lean MVP", or "wait till it’s perfect"? No generalized advice here - this talk will address common startup/product archetypes and help you apply direct learning to your product and your team.
