Scrappy Startups: A Conversation with Jon Boutelle/SlideShare & Dan Martell/Flowtown

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the LiveUmbrella Lounge with SlideShare and Flowtown.

In the spirit of lean startups and the current economic situation, it was refreshing for Jon and Dan to tell us stories about scrappy startups and the mentality behind scrappy.

What stuck the most to me was the differentiation betweetn lean startup and scrappy startup. 

Lean Startup is a methodology, Scrappy Startup is a mentality.

(Thank you, Dan and Jon for enlightening us on this distinction.)

More scrappy stories were shared on how SlideShare scrappified their way to success, how Dan Martell trained his employees in the back of a car while driving to and from meetings, and suggestions on how to be scrappy in your own startup.

Be in the know- and join us for another #scrappystartup conversation very soon.  Sign up for our email list.
