Another @Internet_Summit in Raleigh (now #DSRAL) is a wrap. Notability smaller than pre-pandemic, but so nice to get out of the house & presenters left us w/ notable new ideas.
Best part: catching up w/ old colleagues. @davidBwatkins

Watching how big companies do A/B testing and identifying the winners by time-lapses was a lot of fun. Thanks @dnlRussell. Anyone have a budget they can give me for a celebrity endorsement? The plant on my site isn’t cutting it. LOL. #DSRAL

A big theme at #irsummit2021 was collaboration and connection. These two, @JasonWiden and @DerrickMinor, embody that spirit. Thanks @InnovateRaleigh for a great summit!

Thanks @Incololife and Jeff Dayton for a great discussion on pitch decks and funding methods. Good advice for #startups #entrepreneurs - Integrity matters to VCs, not over valuing your company for a Reg CF, the value of advisors and not taking money from the wrong people.

Build a product, not a perfect product. Launch it and let your customers drive it towards perfection.

That's a wrap from #ProductCon. thanks @productschool and all the speakers.

[David Watkins @davidBwatkins]

Numbers by themselves are not product insights and don't create great products says @matinm1, founder @heap during #ProductCon. #ProductLed companies should 1) make hypotheses 2) test w/data on hand 3) take action and evolve. #ProdMgmt #datascience

[David Watkins @davidBwatkins]

Product #roadmaps, historically known for helping customers learn of upcoming features have become strategic to convey company vision. They're also a great communication tool to help align internal stakeholders and share the "why" says @giffco during #ProductCon #ProdMgmt

.@productschool introduces Proddys 2020 awards (https://t.co/hc812f6BCR) to honor digital products. Hint - there won't be one for @LinkedIn streaming service. The last two sessions froze too often. Switching to @YouTube for the remainder of #ProductCon.
