Pnp FallExpo summary and 30 startup pitches #daily notes @claco @scan @pinerly

#keynote
@AlexMehr - CEO zoosk
What is the most frequent way a user interacts with your product?
Focus on the most important use case, even if you product has several values.
Find the loop your user will user over and over again!
Most startups dont find it and die. The few who find it to find
another and fail.
Once you find it, NEVER let go, its a gold mine!
Use primary atomic use case needs to be sticky or it has no chance to survive.
Examples:
Zoosk: next button - to see the next profile picture
Iphone: changed from "making calls" to "using apps"
FB apps are not the primary use case (not on your news feed) thats why
they dont work.
Strategies to win against competitors: better Primary use case or come
up with a different primary use case.
