12 reasons why early-stage startups fail
by Peter Vidos

Description:
Even though we like to focus on the success stories of startups that thrive, actually at least 9 out of 10 new startups will never make it to their 3rd birthday. It's a constant plate spinning act where every mistake can be lethal and every successful step taken means that the number of plates increases.
So there are plenty of opportunities to kill your startup. We'll skip through the most typical ones and shortly discuss some methods on avoiding such errors.

Bio:
Peter is a startup hustler & mentor with years of hands-on experience in product management, international business development, evangelism, marketing, support & legal related to digital product development. He is the Founder & CEO of Product Genie – with which he helps entrepreneurs to build cool stuff.

2,560 bytes ought to be enough for anyone!
by Istvan Szmozsanszky

Description:
How to stuff your JavaScript code into the 2,560-byte tiny brain of a microcontroller chip? And, more importantly, why on earth anyone would want to do that in the first place? I'm sorry but you'll have to drop by to learn these particular answers - all else, you'd probably sort out with just "42".

Bio:
István Szmozsánszky (or Flaki, for short) is a JavaScript engineer & trainer from Budapest. He runs his own consulting business Skylark, is a Frontend Trainer @ DPC Consulting and a longtime Mozilla-contributor. He's worked on, and continues to contribute to various open source projects like Firefox, Firefox OS, Rust, Servo and the Tessel Project. He's a frequent speaker at conferences, and an organizer himself. His favorite topics include service workers, progressive web apps, JavaScript's history, internals, and JS on microcontrollers — more often than not he's even caught prophesying JavaScript's world domination. ;)
