Session
How to build a startup
Jolyon is going take you on a fast paced tour through the process of going from nothing to something.
He'll cover the excitement of that initial spark of inspiration, through the MVP and finding collaborators, to the hard graft of building a new thing that's never existed before, ending in the labour pains of releasing it to the world.
He'll also touch on validating your ideas, growth and of course profit! Expect live coding and potential expletives when things don't go according to plan.
