#3: So I was born and raised in Wicklow, on a farm as opposite as possible to what Im doing today, and Ive been living abroad whether it be in UK, or Australia for the past 8 years. Very proud Irish and tell people as soon as I meet them where Im from
Ive built a few started a few businesses in the past:
First being an events business, we used to to run club nights all around Dublin in the POD, Traffic and places like that
Then I set up a travel business called Irish Ancestral Holidays which sounds like a cool idea but I learnt never, ever start a business where your customers bore you to death
I then set up a agency in Australia where I really learnt about digital: websites & marketing
When I flew back to London I met up with these guys who had just got funding for a social gaming company
#5: Recognise these?
Anybody like them?
There are 300 million of these Captchas completed on the web, every single day
Each one of these take 15 secs to complete, thats over 100,000 human hours wasted completing these things every day. And a big problem is that most people get them wrong
#6: PlayCaptcha is great for brands as we guarantee brand engagement
Great for users as much better user experience
And great to website owners as we create a new revenue stream
#11: Product market fit
In todays world building it doesnt mean squat. Building stuff is the easy part
Many of you who are building something that may not be getting thr growth youre looking for what really matters is solving a problem for someone in a way thats differenced. Then you can layer on the growth hacks
If youre in the flat part of the graph, thats ok. You can only have a hickey stick growth with a flat bit first
