Keynote: Why exits matter @ DEEP Startup Ecosystem Conference 2021

Today I spoke a bit about why exits matter in startup communities at the DEEP Startup Ecosystem Conference 2021.

My main points were to refresh the audience on the Boulder Thesis, and press the importance of successfully exited entrepreneurs reinvesting their knowledge and money (and also not successfully exited founders reinvesting their knowledge) in the local ecosystem for it to thrive.

Lean Launchpad back @ Digitalhub Aachen

It’s that time of year again! Happy to report that the Digitalhub Aachen has invited me back to help this year’s incubated early-stage startups too.

This year too we’re running 10 early-stage startups through the Lean Launchpad (LLP) model from Stanford by the father of the Lean Startup movement Steve Blank, for 4 months, meeting weekly to report progress and receive peer review.

The Lean Launchpad format

The reporting format for the peer-review; data talks, bullshit walks
