ZERO is so different from the old good power banks that the most accurate description we could come up with was UESO for Unidentified Energy Storage object. Even though all ZEROs are born equal, no two ZEROs are used the same.
The beta test is now available!

I would go for the importance of timing, I review tens of pitch decks per year personally, and one thing I've noticed many first-time entrepreneurs falling in love with their concept/landing page, are happy that 300 subscribers jumped onboard (usually FFF :p ) then focus on growing their email list and getting media exposure than building the product and taking care of these 300 early adopters,...

We decided to unleash our creativity with @adlene_denni having both a background in energy sector, we decided to focus on a project we've been discussing for a while, i won't say too much except : 1/ Green energy 2/ Lasting 24/7 3/ Available everywhere and for everyone 4/ Owned by the community So stay tuned and if you are interested to see the project on the market get ready to vote :)

Failing when the product doesn't find a market is easier to accept than the opposite, in the past, I had to experiment with a startup shut down due to the core team implosion, the hardest part was that we reached 500K, active users, with a 10% per week growth rate... I've learned 2 lessons: 1/ Co-found with like-minded people and aligned visions and interests. 2/ Failure doesn't kill you, it's...
What is your biggest learning experience from failure?

Thanks Sarah for the insights, if you can help us with 2 quick questions, 1/ Do we have to submit something beyond the name + url ? 2/ Can we submit more than one project? Thanks!
Ready, set, make! Submit your product to Makers Festival.

Depending on the task it can be pleasant and productive, for instance I never take my laptop with me, however I found myself editing a video on my smartphone on the beach last christmass... I like using my vacation to critically rethink some aspects of my business, brainstorm, take notes, document and educate myself.
What are the pros/cons of working while vacationing?

People with more than 1 account per social network and not enough time to scale them all

Hi @aaronoleary the submission process is a bit blurry -for us- should we submit the project as any regular PH product (post) or wait until the landing page (that is still active and open for registrations) will turn into something else? Thanks!

I don't think that cryptocurrencies we know today will completely replace sovereign fiat, they will coexist in a way but the technology will definitely reshape money how it is today just think of how many countries announced lately launching their own crypto
Will cryptocurrency replace Fiat currencies in the future?

We felt that the existing solutions didn't fit with our needs so we build Lyfpit to serve our needs internally @ Brandizer.co & CTRL.energy then shared the app with friends who loved the simplicity and focus, so here we are :) Lyfpit meets the world!

Hi Jenny, there is unfortunately no silver bullet, I'm now in my 9th venture and everyone is different, the best way to win long term users and even evangelists is to earn them, so identify HR people, take the time to interract with them and bring the discussion toward the pain point you are solving, offer a demo, don't abuse automation and growthhacking techniques on things that didn't work...
How did you grow/find your first group of users to a MVP product you just launched?
