1 min
by Alexis Saillart

Building a first product, working on it for almost ten years, getting millions of users... and then leaving to build a new one. This talk hosted by Alexis Fogel, Founder @Stonly & ex Dashlane, covers the different phases of product execution and vision from ideation to shipping a first version, refining, optimizing, and diversifying, highlighting mistakes made and tips learned along the way, sometimes twice!
The main key learnings :
- Use the vision and a first use case to launch a product. Discover how Alexis Fogel found its product/market fit 10 years apart.
- Iterate with your first customers. Learn how to interact with your early adopters to grow your product and build your early adopters community
- Do things the right way at the beginning. Discover that it’s way cheaper than having to fix it later (ex: technical debts, culture debts, security debts, etc.)
