Adeo Ressi, CEO and co-founder of the Founder Institute, spoke at Startupfest 2015, a festival featuring keynotes, interactive how-to sessions, powerful lessons from battle-scarred founders, and more.
While the Lean Startup methodology has provided founders a simple methodology for resource- and time-constrained companies, it has nonetheless led to a distillation of these principles, leading many entrepreneurs to pivot too quickly and without proper validation. During his keynote presentation, Adeo emphasized the importance of staying one’s course on the path of entrepreneurship and the idea that launching a startup is more than just launching a startup.
For too many founders, ideas are a dime a dozen. But what you do with your startup is your life’s work, ideally your destiny, and you don’t pivot on the purpose of your life.
