Vicinia Blog

Ich werde einfach mal ab jetzt jeden Tag einige Links hier posten zu interessanten Themen rund um Startups. Diese können technischer Natur sein, oder auch einfach ökonomischer Natur, oder einfach Tips und Tricks und Erfahrungsberichte. Legen wir einfach mal los, ohne lange Erklärungen einfach den Links folgen und lesen.

1. Demo Day
“To put it quite simply, when you demo your product there is no scope for bullshit. Either you have a product that works well and is impressive or you have a piece of crap that breaks every two seconds and it’s obvious no one would ever use it. There is no scope for fudging around the edges and making excuses - for those ten minutes you’re presenting the audience is not interested in how hard the fight to raise angel money has been or how you can’t find the right people to join your team. There is only one thing they are judging you on and that’s the projection on the wall that’s hooked up to the laptop from which you’re running your site. That’s a scary thing - peer pressure is a powerful thing and I was amazed at just how much I wanted to impress these people, who are all the same age as me and at the same stage in start-up life.”

2. User Interface Is As Important As Code
“There are an amazing number of great software applications out there that I don’t give a second look at because their user interface is horrible. Everything from inconsistently positioned buttons, ugly icons, poor spelling, cramped interfaces, badly explained features or hideous splash screens.”
