I ask entrepreneurs and enterprise innovators, "What problem are you solving" and then I help them design and run experiments to prove the problem, test the solution, or grow. Lean Startup is my favorite tool, but I have many to help them minimize waste, reduce risk, go faster, and ultimately succeed faster. Sometimes I bribe founders to do their first 5 REAL ethnographic discovery interviews. I work or have worked with Google, the Department of Health and Human Services, The Build Institute in Detroit, Bunker Labs, 150 Startups (Alberta), KauffmanLabs, TechPeaks, Bizdom, Numa Paris, StartupIstanbul, Startup Chile, TurkishWIN, FastForward Ramallah, AOL, ESPN, NewsCorp, AMEX and others who don't want their competition to know just how valuable it can be to run the types of experiments I teach.
$2,600 for your next startup experiment.

Hi Reader, One thing I want to be transparent about: I have been using Claude Code -- Anthropic's AI -- to help organize this conference. It has been finding speakers, building the invite list, drafting outreach, and scheduling this email. I am telling you this because it is relevant to what we are doing in Rome. The November 5th event is built around one question: what happens to startup programs when AI can do the work that used to require a team? We are not debating whether this is...
