We asked the Brandery class what their key take aways from Tuesdays's great talk with Geoff Allen founder of Ziplist. This is what they had to say:Austin Hackett from CrowdHall said, “ You must Identify the segment your business is in and focus there.”Another CrowdHall favorite takeaway was, “Choose good people to work with as your founding team and pay attention to the boring stuff because it will save you from headaches in the long run.”Greg Svitak from AndTix enjoyed when Allen discussed, “The two biggest factors when your considering a startup is total addressable market and what is your magic moment.”Michael Bergman from Vouchedfor's favorite thought was, “A sexy partner for your business may not be the best partner.”The classes overall favorite quotes were: “Nobody understands your business as well as you do, take every piece of advice with a grain of salt.” “Just because you can build it doesn’t mean you should.”“Control rests with those who generate success often irrespective of ownership."Thanks again Geoff for coming and spending time at the Brandery and discussing what you have learned.
