Dreamit Alum here. Served to be one of the best ways to focus and gain some unfair advantage through the awesome community of mentors/advisors that became available to us. Biggest benefit = how effectively they can remove barriers to transition from idea/concept to business. Highly, highly recommend.


I agree 100% history is hugely important, the only counter point i would make here is not to dump the narrative on the slide. History always comes out more passionate via conversation.


Yes, history is something that often is better communicated in person. Audience specific answers are often preferable.


the trick is in augmenting a simple interface with powerful technology a.k.a added functionality.


i agree that there are a set of users that are much more hardcore than the masses. it's a delicate balance. if you only cater to the advanced users your growth curves will parallel.


exactly, the technology is built into the initial layer though. you aren't clicking a calculator link are you? you just input it into the same field. so google's initial layer is as effective as it is because the underlying technology is powering that layer. versus an app that has a seperate link to calculator, dictionary, weather etc.


nice! 104 year old google streetview. :)


I was hoping for some LARP photobombing :)


super cool.


Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I am thinking about possibly updating the code base so that the prices are generated in real-time, based off Apple's current stock price.
