Lecture 6: How to Start a Startup
I still haven't got my head around the 'growth' thing is how is it applicable to software/hardware startups that are NOT developing products for mass market.<p>For example, if someone in telecom industry creates a product that can only be sold to operators. The time it takes to convert an engagement can be upwards of 6 months. In such cases, what would be a good growth metric with which to measure your progress?<p>Now, we can chose not to call such companies startups but that doesn't solve the problem.<p>I am sure there are many knowledgeable people on this thread who can provide some insights here. Any pointers to read will also help.
