Startupism summary day 2 and pitches #daily notes #startupism

#changing the world

#accelerating innovation @dfjSteve
Think about a company becomes most important in 20 years, has not created yet.
If anyone agrees on your idea its not radical enough to change the world.
Recession is the healthiest time to build a business, due to customer focus.
Every major invention is a combination of two or more previous ideas.
Life long learning is a good idea.
No team greater 7 gets more work done!

Buy new users with the money you earned on selling your app.
Monetize your mobile app with consumers or corporations.

#keynote @PhilMcKinney

The power of questions:
Don't stop with the first answer.
Ask questions you can not answer right now.
Killer questions force you to start discover before answer

Innovation is a skill anybody can learn.
1 Focus
search for opportunities
Challenge your assumptions (what if the opposite is true)
2 Ideation
Killer ideas from killer questions
Who? What? How?
3 Ranking
Will it Change?: -customer experience, -competitive positioning,
-Economics, your contribution? Generates margin?
4 Execution

Ideas without execution are a hobby
Talk to customers first
Innovate with a portfolio: (Focus on your core competency, Innovate via M& A)
Tell stories and put the person you talk to in the middle of the story.
