Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Page 5: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Pick a Name… that doesn’t get stolen

Page 6: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Find Co-founders… who stick with you

Page 7: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Raise Money… a second time (hint. not that easy)

Page 8: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Complex Agreements… are lethal. They feed lawyers, and

are not applicable

Page 9: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Going Wide not a Good Idea… if you don’t find yourself a global niche

Page 10: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Burn $$ on User Acquisition… only after you reach product retention

Page 11: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Focusing on Advanced Users… is a mistake, if you forget

(or mess up with) newcomers

Page 12: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

An Experience, not a Product…. get a f**king designer and

think user first

Page 13: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Get (powerful) Partners… but choose your ride

Page 14: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Developping a Payment System … is stupid. You lose development time and

shift focus away from your app.

Page 15: Azendoo Inside Story: all the mistakes we've made

Meet our Team… that’s our #1 asset and your

#1 priority as a founder
