Show #49 Eric Ries, Lean Startup and product/market fit

The Startup Success Podcast

The Startup Success Podcast

This week Bob talks with Eric Ries about his Lean Startup concept and taking an entirely different approach to building your startup. Is 1 success and 9 failures the only way to build software startups? Eric doesn’t think so, and he convinced me. This is an approach to building your startup that I predict will get a lot of attention in 2010.

Patrick focuses on the new Microsoft Silverlight 4 beta and Bob’s staff chimes in during the main interview to wish you from all of us a Happy New Year!

Show #6: Pamela Slim, Escape from Cubicle Nation

The Startup Success Podcast

The Startup Success Podcast

In our sixth show, I interview consultant, blogger, podcaster and writer Pamela Slim, who was liberated thousands of people from their cubicles and helped them escape to richer, more lucrative and more fulfilling lives as entrepreneurs.

Pam’s blog, Escape from Cubicle Nation, is one of the top resources on the net for people who want to stop being “good corporate team players” and own their own teams, for better or worse. Pam’s advice is definitely a keeper.

Also, Pat and I chew over the state of Silverlight and where is the killer Rich Internet Application? I have a few tips on taming the email beast and Pat makes the case for Silverlight for microISVs and startups.
