DROPBOX MVP VIDEO

Drew recounted, “It drove hundreds of

thousands of people to the website.

Our beta waiting list went from

5,000 people to 75,000

people literally overnight. It totally

blew us away.”

Andrew “Drew” Houston – Founder and CEO of Dropbox

At Startup Lessons Learned 2010, Drew summed up his experience with this single slide:

•Biggest Risk: making something no one wants

•Not launching is painful, but not learning is fatal

•Put something in users hands (doesn’t have to be code) and get feedback ASAP

•Know where your target audience hangs out & speak to them in an authentic way

“ what entrepreneurs do is they have an idea and then

they execute. They get off their rear end and they go do something.”

David Rose, Serial Entrepreneur
