New Lean Startup Conference website, speakers, agenda
- DenisM 17y agoWho's going? I'm kind of chocking on the $700 admission price - it feels like a lot of money. On the other hand when I ask myself "if given $700 what would you spend it on, that would be clearly more useful than this conference?" I can't come up with an answer. Hello, cognitive dissonance...
- dkuchar 17y agoI've been running "lean" startups for years and never needed a day job to support it. you don't need to go to conferences to do it, you just need common sense and balls. the $700 admission price is ironic. go to conferences to network, not to learn - personally I'd get more out of a book or two than any number of these conferences.

- revorad 17y agoI hate to be cynical but I can't see the lean in $700.
- dkuchar 17y agothere's nothing cynical about it. Everyone who goes to the conference is going to learn the startup lesson: "don't pay $700 to attend conferences about (essentially) how to bootstrap a company". personally i could only justify that cost if it were extremely good PR for your company. and forget servers (you shouldn't be paying that kind of money for servers when there are things like app engine/aws/azure). if you've quit your day job, $700 could be food on the table or a roof over your head for a month or two (depending on where you live).
- bigsassy 17y agoLean != Cheap. The "Lean" in Lean Startup is more about efficiency and less about money.
- nreece 17y agoLean is about efficiency, but also about being frugal -- just like any other business. Lean is largely about reducing waste (muda). In my opinion, a $700 event about "lean" business is counter-effective and a waste of money for many startups.

- staunch 17y agoIt just seems disingenuous. All the talk about a happy community working together for the betterment of all involved and the $700-$2500 price being charged by one party for simply organizing the event. Startup School is the real deal.
