I’m excited to return to Startupfest 9 years after my first participation. I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new industry leaders. I decided to host three Braindate by e180 on topics I’m passionate about. I love the 1:1 format, which allows for deep dives into challenges in a safe space. 1. How to design the right product organization based on growth stage Having worked in various product organization designs, I can share insights on the benefits and drawbacks of each and help you find the right one for your needs. https://lnkd.in/exfkSSf3 2. Lessons learned from building an AI product at Landr and Wavo Tips to accelerate market validation with your data product. https://lnkd.in/es6i7a35 3. Accelerate Product Adoption: Proven Techniques to increase cLTV Many scale-ups focus on attracting customers and optimizing CAC but often need to pay more attention to achieving a decent cLTV. https://lnkd.in/eQKZWGii The event is quite packed, but I’ll also make sure to watch friends and I respect a lot in my network this Wednesday: TechPoutine Live with Sophie Boulanger with Nectarios Economakis https://lnkd.in/ek5cxfU8 The Floor is Yours! We're Playing "Ask Me Anything... About Exporting" with Dominic Gagnon https://lnkd.in/e6jK-Ue2 The Business of Truth with Ben Yoskovitz https://lnkd.in/ep7g6dJf) How Are AI Companies Dealing With the Problem of Truth? with Philippe Beaudoin https://lnkd.in/e9vViDgv DM me if you'd like to meet for coffee or a drink.

🚀 Exciting Keynote Experience at Devfest Ikot Ekpene! 🚀 Last Saturday, I had the incredible opportunity to share insights on "Fail Fast, Learn Faster" at Devfest Ikot Ekpene. 🎤 In a world that moves at the speed of technology, embracing failure is a key aspect of innovation. My keynote emphasized the importance of taking risks, learning from mistakes, and using setbacks as stepping stones toward success. 💡 Here are a few takeaways from the session: 1️⃣ Fail Fast, But Fail Smart: Speed is essential, but so is intelligence. Learn to fail in a way that maximizes learning and minimizes long-term impact. 2️⃣ Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Treat every setback as an opportunity to grow. A growth mindset is the foundation for continuous improvement. 3️⃣ Feedback is Fuel: Constructive feedback is the compass that guides improvement. Embrace it, learn from it, and use it to iterate on your journey. I'm grateful for the engaging discussions and the vibrant energy of the Devfest Ikot Ekpene community. Let's continue to build, innovate, and learn together! 🚀🌐 #DevfestIkotEkpene #KeynoteSpeaker #FailFastLearnFaster #Innovation #TechTalk #ProfessionalDevelopment

Founders, If you make a product demo without narrating you actually sending several 🚩negative signals: - you come across as sloppy or lazy - you assume people would understand something that likely they won’t - it is humiliating to watch something and not get it - you send a signal you lack confidence to speak Don’t do it! Use look and make an awesome narrative, nerdy demos! #startuphacks @2048vc
