Software, rhymes with scalability 🚀

(Well, kind of).

With code, you reach more and more people, as you please!

And a new customer doesn't mean a brand new piece of code. You can deliver a great product from what you already have with adequate changes.

Another great thing about code is that once written, it can last for a very long time. (Thank god)

Sure, there will be some changes here and there as new technologies come along.

But the core of your code can stay the same for years, making maintenance and support a breeze.

Code is also flexible! If you need to make a change, it's usually just a few tweaks here and there.

Code is kind of a big deal.

And it can be the perfect tool for your lean start-up or business.

Code is scalable and unstoppable 🚀

It's time to bring your vision to the market...

But how can you find the right person to execute it?

In other words: how to find the perfect CTO? 🤔

The answer might be simpler than you think.

The best way to find a CTO is to look for someone already working on a similar problem.

Someone who shares your vision and is passionate about bringing a unique solution to the world.

And no, you don't need to have the same worldview as your CTO, but you do need to be able to work well together.

Once you find someone who shares your vision and is passionate about solving the same problem, it's time to get to work!

And if we can be helpful in any way to make your vision a reality, shoot us a message!

Launching any product or service is a crazy rollercoaster 🎢

Up and down. Up and down. Bounce from failure and repeat.

At some point, you have to decide whether building the next unicorn is worth it...

A single answer won't work for everyone, but there are specific characteristics that most successful entrepreneurs share.

If you're thinking about taking the entrepreneurial plunge, here are 5 key characteristics you need to succeed.

1. Passion: The most successful entrepreneurs are passionate about the problem. They believe what they're doing will support a crowd.

2. Determination: Quitting is not an option for successful entrepreneurs. They're determined to see their vision through, no matter how many obstacles they face.

3. Focus: Great entrepreneurs know how to focus on what's important. They're able to tune out distractions and stay laser-focused on the goal.

4. Creativity: You need to be able to see things from a different perspective and come up with new solutions.

5. Resilience: Things will go wrong - it's inevitable. The most successful entrepreneurs can pick themselves up after setbacks and keep going.

Many others are important, but these five are a great place to start.

Lately, you probably have been hearing about the Twitter acquisition by Elon Musk.

A lot can be said about Elon Musk's minimal approach to business, but this quote from Jack Dorsey has a lesson worth sharing...

This tweet from the Ex-CEO and founder of Twitter shows the essence of the lean approach.

Attention to detail and a willingness to improve what is working!

Just think of Twitter overall:

The limit of messages to 140 characters...

The minimal logo...

The interactive interface...

When Jack wrote this tweet, Twitter had about 54 million users (a LOT!)

But now it has almost 400 million...

Announcing your mindset publicly and your commitment to improving can help you reach your highest goals.

In Jack's case, the message’s medium is his own creation, and the success and importance of Twitter speaks for itself.

Did you ever find yourself at a party where the music is too low? 🔊

We use a Bluetooth speaker to provide audio for a party these days.

However, Samsung developed what it thought to be a better idea: turn your friends into speakers.

The company's Group Play feature allows you to stream your music through your friends' phones.

As they move around the room, they take the sound with them (even though the sound quality is not great...)

Why bother with useless features? Not every single idea is worth trying (at least without testing and feedback) 😅

Stop launching dozens of features.

Start with an MVP first! 🚀

Hi, Marco here! 👋

A book that has been on my mind and by my bedside table is...

"The Innovator's Dilemma".

This chunky, 336-page book by Clayton Christensen explores why businesses fail...

Even though they appear to be thriving in their sector and industry.

This idea struck me because we often assume that big corporations will stay forever in the market.

But, often, those seemly permanent residents disappear.

Why does that happen?

Lack of innovation.

The book introduces the concept of a "disruptive innovation", where new products and services can enter markets with lower price points and greater value propositions:

💲🔻 💡🔺

These innovations start in smaller markets and then grow, overtaking the established players who have failed to innovate.

This is a critical lesson for every business:

You must always be looking ahead at what's next and building up your capabilities around new technologies and emerging trends.

Now that I think about it, it doesn’t apply only to businesses but also to individuals. 🙎‍♂️

Have you read it?

Does your entrepreneurial journey end with a domain? 😅

Don't it let be the case!

Let's build your product together 🚀

The traditional way of doing business is becoming less and less effective...

Uber and Airbnb disrupted traditional businesses with innovative solutions: from 🚕 to 🚗

Big companies like Coca-Cola and Sony are struggling to keep up with the trends and losing millions as a result...

So, how can you ensure your business keeps up and strives in this brave new world?

By adopting a lean startup approach (yeah, it's that simple!)

The lean startup is all about starting small and learning from your customers as you grow 📈

This iterative approach allows you to test ideas and make course corrections along the way... fast!

This approach is based on the following 3 principles:

1. Build-Measure-Learn: Build a minimum viable product (MVP), measure the customer response, and learn from it.

The MVP is a bare-bones version of the product released to the market to get customer feedback.

2. Iterate: Iterate quickly and constantly. The lean startup approach is all about iteration – making small changes and seeing how customers respond.

3. Pivot: Change direction – based on customer feedback. A pivot is a significant change to the product or business model, and it should be based on customer feedback.

Like all journeys, the first step is the most important 📍

Get your MVP ready!

What does Twitter, Facebook and Dropbox have in common? 🤔

Aside from being multi-million dollar businesses with crazy market share?

Let's go back to their beginnings and find out...

Every one of these companies started with an MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

An MVP is a product with just the core features necessary to satisfy early adopters, get feedback from these users, and use that feedback to further improve the product.

Can you imagine Facebook website at its beginning? The image shows it all...

➡️ Facebook

In the beginning, Facebook was restricted to Harvard students where Zuck studied at the time.

However, with the increase in its popularity, it soon expanded to other universities. Facebook was rolled out to Stanford, Columbia, and Yale.

Expansion to additional schools spread throughout 2005, with institutions all around the globe!

In 2006, Facebook opened its services to everyone with a valid email address aged 13 years or older. This was the official start of the Facebook we know and use today.

➡️ Twitter

What was initially called twttr is now the 140-character social network responsible for the invention of the .

In March of 2006, four board members, including Jack Dorsey, conceived creating an SMS service that would allow one person to communicate with a small group of others.

When Twitter was featured at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in 2007, it really took off.

The social networking platform saw a boost in tweets from 20,000 to 60,000 during the event 🚀

After the conference, Twitter's popularity and user base snowballed.

➡️ Dropbox

From the outset, Dropbox took many of the same steps as other successful MVPs.

The beginning of an MVP is to start small and pique users' curiosity early, which Dropbox did.

The team produced a 30-second film that demonstrated their product visually before even putting a functional product into the hands of consumers.

Through the use of a landing page, Dropbox gathered over 70,000 email addresses from interested future consumers 🤯

The Dropbox team used this early consumer research to validate their concepts and establish that there was market demand for their product.

Dropbox accelerated development shortly after launching the product to the public based on this initial feedback.
