Better Weekdays - Chicago Lean Startup Challenge 2012

Better Weekdays is a curated, subscription based job-matching platform that connects mid-market companies with top-tier management talent.  

Over the course of Chicago Lean Startup Challenge, we definitely took away key learnings that could be useful to any entrepreneur:

1. Customers may not know their solution, but they will tell you their problems if you ask the right questions.

2. Even when you've found a compelling value proposition and a customer segment that values your solution, it is just as important to validate how demand is created, your channels of distribution and which partners will help you achieve your goal.

3. The easiest thing to do is spend money (when you have it), but the hardest, yet most valuable thing to do is to "get out of the building" and validate your hypothesis!

 

Thanks to the Todd, Bernhard and Joe for a fantastic experience!
