This Friday there’s an amazing conference taking place in San Francisco called the Startup Lessons Learned conference. Hosted by Eric Ries, the Startup Lessons Learned (SLL) conference is the first event focused soley on learning how to build lean startups. From its site:
Startup Lessons Learned is the first event designed to unite those interested in what it takes to succeed in building a lean startup. The goal for this event is to give practitioners and students of the lean startup methodology the opportunity to hear insights from leaders in embracing and deploying the core principles of the lean startup methodology. The day-long event will feature a mix of panels and talks focused on the key challenges and issues that technical and market-facing people at startups need to understand in order to succeed in building successful lean startups.
Confirmed speakers include:
