Bootstrappers Breakfast with Rob Fitzpatrick of "The Mom Test"

Founder Assets and Safety Nets -
Rob Fitzpatrick joins entrepreneurs to talk about assets founders bring to their companies and they can be further developed over the course of our entrepreneurial careers.

Rob joins us from Barcelona where he’ll share his thoughts on assets that founders bring to their companies and how we can develop them further over the course of our entrepreneurial careers. He will take us through a short exercise to identify their key assets, including: skills, insights, audiences, access to talent, etc. Rob will also address his recent work on “idea selection,” shaping your ideas and goals.

Of course, we’ll also take questions on soliciting feedback on your product from potential customers, drawing on the techniques and pitfalls he identified in his book, “The Mom Test.”

RSVP (no cost online event) to get access to this event live on Zoom. Please be prompt. Only the first 100 attendees will be admitted to the event.

About Rob Fitzpatrick -
Rob is an entrepreneur of 12 years. He went through YCombinator (s07) with an attempt to figure out social advertising before Facebook managed to do so, which obviously didn’t work out so well. He has raised funding in the US and UK, built products used by customers like Sony and MTV, designed and Kickstarted a card game, cofounded the education agency Founder Centric, rebuilt a little sailboat, and has built and launched countless silly hobby and side projects which have (so far) managed to keep the wolf from the door. He’s a techie who (grudgingly) learned enterprise sales. He now specializes in the gathering of unbiased customer learning and taking an idea from nothing through to its first dozen or so paying customers.

Rob is the author of The Mom Test book about how to talk to customers and learn if your business is a good idea even when everyone is lying to you. Taught at top universities including Harvard, MIT, UCL, and many more. Coauthor of Workshop Survival Guide about how to design and run effective, engaging, high-energy workshops.
