Fighting

I went to the Tech Founder's meetup on Wednesday mainly because a possible investor was there.

He wasn't.

So, on Thursday morning I dropped him a message via LinkedIn. He said he was going to the Founder's Fight Club - which I hadn't heard of - that evening.

I put myself on the wait list and was soon accepted.

It was a very good evening. We were put in teams and as to propose a business solution to a stated problem.

Our team did well, we almost one but didn't, and got a special prize. I did my usual assertiveness thing to make sure that I was noticed by everyone, including the investor I wanted to talk with.

I will try to catch up with him when he's next in Munich but at least he is more aware of me now.

There were some take aways:

  • Don't worry about exit
  • Find an itch - so that it's something you really want to work at
  • Read about Google Sprint which is an alternative to Lean Startup.

It was a very fun evening and I met some good people.
