Rob Fitzpatrick and I (Sal) are teaming up to run a full-day, hands-on workshop: Founder-Centric.

We designed Founder-Centric to give you practical tools to get to be a successful founder – it focuses on your success more than the success of any specific business, so you can really take on the "fail fast, but fail gracefully" mentality to find a business that has traction.

The workshop is hands-on – you'll be working on your business – and you'll leave the day with practical tools in place to make sure you keep progressing faster, and clear next steps.


A full-day bootcamp covering...

 

Lean Startup
 Learn about the management techniques which have been used by some of the most successful Silicon Valley startups recently. We'll guide you through creating your "learning loop" to validate your business idea in small chunks, and set you up with a lightweight "Kanban" system to do that faster with limited time.

Choosing the right business model
Getting started with the right business model can be a make-or-break difference when you're launching part-time. Learn how to understand, assess and design your business model so that it's more likely to succeed at the difficult early stages.

Sources of fast, traction techniques
Quick sources for customer interview techniques, customer acquisition, landing page design, cashflow management & sources of free/cheap tools. You'll have a better idea of where to turn – what approaches are relevant for what contexts – to stop you from spinning your wheels.

 

A few testimonials: (You know how we roll!)

❝Turned high-level theory into practice quickly.❞

❝I have a clear vision of the next steps that need to be completed.❞

❝Loads of useful tools. Demystification of startups - which gives more confidence.❞

❝Inspiring, thought-provoking & practical.❞

❝I met great people and I think that Rob was an amazing teacher. It feels good to know who to talk to about your ideas and I know the next steps to follow.❞

Dan Maher said:

An emerging cluster of ICT companies is forming in Ireland around this ocean focus. The name "SmartOcean" is being used to as the collective title of all these innovative applications of the latest ICT technologies applied on, in and under water.

We are starting to gather this community under www.smartocean.org

I'm seeing some ag startups starting off, but I can't help but think they could benefit from having easy access to people with experience in the sector (network in the sector and knowledge on agricultural technology). I think that would really help overcome commonplace problems, that would be hurdles to take without access the right sort of sector experience. In other words, a factor that could accelerate customer development. On the other hand, there is of course the danger of myopia if you just focus on a single sector. You might loose out on a lot of synergy and innovation opportunities. I would therefore like to have a brainstorm on the rationale of dedicating an incubator to single sector, discuss strengths and weaknesses and think of possible workarounds for the weaknesses :-) Thanks @bdoorn

@Guillermo proposed for Dublin, yes. Will be working on a structure for the discussion. Any thoughts? Que tal encontramos por skype para preparanos juntos?

This is a very good topic to talk about. In Barcelona we are having many niche incubators, but I don't know one related to lean movement.
I guess you are proposing it for Dublin though.

I'll stay tuned anyway
