I've been told for years that I need to put together a set of videos regarding my Top 10 List of things for a Technologist to do to get a startup into first gear. I have a talk on this, but I have never actually done the video(s). Now, I have, and I have put them up on my YouTube. I'm going to link to them from this blog post. I hope that I have them in somewhat the right order and that I haven't mucked things up too much in this.
- Introduction - Who Am I?
- Preface.
- What Is A Startup?
- What You Think Happens.
- Execution on the Idea.
- Idea Validation.
- What Is An MVP?
- Funding.
- Risk.
- Intellectual Property.
- Setting Up A Company.
- Growth.
- Technology.
- Issues - Things and People to Watch out For.
As the videos published, I was adding the links in and I've finally gotten to the end. Sure, there are more than 10 video snippets, but I wanted to add thoughts as appropriate. I'd like to thank Matt Reynolds, a friend of mine in England. He started a set of videos regarding the process of building an MVP for a startup, so that got me thinking of what my late friend told me (Walter Lounsbery RIP) at lunch 5 years ago, that I needed to do a talk on how to get going in a startup.
Good luck in your startup journey. If you want help/guidance on your journey through the startup world, let me know and contact me via my LinkedIn.
PSS. A little about me. I'm a 26+ year veteran of startups. I've worked with varying startups off and on for that timeframe. I also do some angel investing via Community Equity Partners. Apply via the link. I'm a little boy, so don't apply to me. "Don't Pitch Me Bro."
