Start-up Metrics that Matter

By Dave McClure

Dave McClure gave a killer talk at FOWA London that gave some great advice for web start-ups. If that’s you, make sure not to miss this talk. You can also view the slides or download the audio. Enjoy!

Also, we’ve just launched FOWA Miami! There are only 7 early bird tickets left (after just one day on sale), so they’re going to go quick.

  I’ve watched the video three times now, just today! I think it’s great how Dave cuts through the BS and gets down to the core of what a website needs to do. Good advice for anyone starting a website!

  Hi,

  I am working in a office all day long but as time goes bye I try to use it to develop my skills as a designer.

  I love to redecorate and furnish me and my husbands house and help friends with new ideas of how to make there home look better using modern design furniture.

  I find great inspiration in mobiliario contemporáneo
