Writing & guides

Notes on innovation, entrepreneurship and technology, since 2002.

Customer interviews ↗

How to interview customers before you build: a field guide, templates, where to find people to talk to, and how to get from what they say to what they do.

MVP and experiments ↗

Which minimum viable product to build at each stage, real MVPs from a paper prototype to the first iPhone, and how to run experiments with customers.

The intrapreneur ↗

Intrapreneurs build new ventures inside a company: their rules, what stands in their way, the sponsors who back them and the leaders who let them work.
