The Big Picture

** Yes, this was blatantly stolen from Ash Maurya & "Running Lean" - Be cool

First World Problem/s1. Beers

We were drinking on a Tuesday. Who does that?2. NYC

We were travelling on "business" for our boring corporate gig.

3. And somewhat off topic.....The experience of dialing into a conference call sucks and everyone hates it.

Solution Hypothesis

People would rather join conference calls by going to a link - like www.speek.com/danny - than by dialing a 10 digit phone number, then a conference id and/or a PIN.

Validating Assumptions

We did over 30 customer interviews before we designed a single pixel or wrote a single line of code.

** Yup, this too was shamelessly stolen from Ash Maurya & "Running Lean" - Sue me
