Agile Marketing through Customer Development part II

One night is not enough, so we will continue the discussion from last week's meetup.

Marketing is not a abstract artform that requires a self proclaimed social marketing guru to figure out. It's also not a separate process that can be done independently of product development. We'll cover the basics of Steve Blank's Four Steps to the Epiphany (https://www.amazon.com/Four-Steps-Epiphany-Steven-Blank/dp/0976470705/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1288750862&sr=8-1) and discuss how to integrate marketing as early as possible into your development process to avoid early pitfalls.

As much as possible, we'll avoid an abstract lecture and work with real examples, so bring questions, prototypes, and assumptions you have about your target market.
