This is the conference talk that convinces you to quit your job and move to Silicon Valley. As developers, we have so many skills; so much creativity- we use logic and ingenuity every day to solve problems and build solutions for other people's projects. The problem is, it's a lot easier to work on a product than to start a business. However, with a few simple tools, competencies and some initiative you can find yourself going from idea to IPO. This presentation will cover topics including: Minimum Viable Product, Customer Discovery, Product Market Fit, and the Business Model Canvas. You'll be surprised by how much you can learn in an hour, and you'll walk away ready to pitch your brain baby to Y Combinator.
