I had the good fortune to see startup all-star Dave McClure speak on Wednesday afternoon, when he gave a modified version of his “Startup Metrics for Pirates” presentation.
First thing to note: Dave is not for the faint of heart, or at least the faint of ears. His language is bluer than an ocean.
Second thing to note: Dave is entertaining. He tells it like it is, but he does so in a way that is accessible and enjoyable. Essentially, he tells a story, and lets the listener/viewer figure out how it applies to their individual situation.
So when Dave McClure says, “connect emotionally around a problem,” it’s probably wise that you listen up.
Referenced in this video: “Your SOLUTION is Not My PROBLEM” (yes, Dave is kind of a jerk in this post, but that’s why we love him)
