San Diego Startup Week

This is a highly interactive workshop that will take you through an abbreviated learning cycle that will get you to identify the riskiest assumptions in a product/idea, design tests for the assumptions and analyze/apply insights gained from running the tests to the idea/product in preparation for the next cycle. In other words, this workshop will get you to experience the iterative process that is central to the MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

Attendees to this workshop will ideally be early-stage entrepreneurs who are interested in applying lean methodologies to their business.

We strongly encourage you to read the "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries (http://theleanstartup.com/book), prior to attending the workshop.

NOTE: 

Attendees change schedules all the time, often right up until the start of the event. This means wait-listed attendees always have a shot. We strongly encourage attendees to add events to their schedule - wait-listed or not. 

Looking for a technical co founder? Or maybe you'd like to join a startup. Come here to meet early stagefounders looking to find team members.

Join Rob Kaufman, Founder of Notch8, a Rails Consultancy, as he facilitates a conversation on who to hire, when to hire, and how to win them over to turn your idea into a fully functional app

Effectively scaling a marketplace is a constant balancing act. How do you deal with unpredictable demand? How to scale with suppliers? How do you maintain quality? How do you build & maintain a culture/community? How do you deal with cheaters? 

Scaling requires a balance between the two to maintain and improve sales volume and profit margins. Ultimately, the value of a marketplace lies in the number of providers and consumers you serve. As in all businesses, there are two ways to grow, get more customers or sell more to the customers you've got.

Fuckup Nights is a global movement born in Mexico in 2012 to share publicly business failure stories. Hundreds of people attend each event to hear three to four entrepreneurs share their failures. Each speaker is given 7 minutes and is able to use 10 images. After each speaker, there’s a question/answer session, as well as time for networking.

In this Binational edition you will hear the story of Female Founders who will  share their failures, their learnings and you will have the chance to meet them.
