I attended Art of the Start conference yesterday, much of which was taken from the book you see here. It was a fun day, although I had to wonder what was motivating Garage to hold the conference. Certainly not money, the conference is peanuts compared to their usual money making exploits. I suspect maybe trying to reduce headaches from bad pitches… or perhaps it was one of their constant themes, pay back the world for your good fortune. Anyhow, good stuff, and the book is highly regarded!
My notes from the first session follow.
