lsm Starting on Friday, and running for the past 3 days in NYC on the 17th floor of a building near 37th Street within the AlleyNYC space, Lean Startup Machine and 100+ awesome product people, worked together, innovated, iterated, and had a blast! And, this year, I was fortunate to have been a mentor at the event, worked with and met many great minds and made many new friends.

What is Lean Startup Machine?

Lean Startup Machine is a competitive three-day workshop where you learn how to apply Lean Startup methodologies in the real world. This is not about writing code–but building things that people want.

Hope to see you at a future event. And, can’t wait to do my next one!
