Video: How to Measure Success by Colin Devroe at LessConf in Jacksonville, Florida

December 7th, 2009

The moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here. Video of my LessConf presentation is now available, for free, in its entirety courtesy of the guys at LessEverything.


Duration: ~59minutes

In this presentation I cover how to measure success for a start up in a global market (read: the Internet). I tried my best to give an overview of some of the common pitfalls that startup companies seem to face as well as some possible solutions that have worked for me in my career. I tried to have a little fun too.

Notable links for this presentation would be:

LessConf was thoroughly enjoyable and I felt privileged to have been part of it. Thanks to everyone in attendance for putting up with me for an hour.

    Hey dude,

    Listened to the whole talk, and you had some great points. I’ve often thought that about the internet, and how we like to king one company in a space as “champion” and assume that all other similar services are just ripoffs or knockoffs, when really they could be providing an incredibly different or unique service to their clients.

    Loved the humour too. Seemed like the crowd was just waking up or something? Anyway, I thought it was funny. haha

      Some of my jokes missed, for sure, but the video was edited in such a way that the reaction from the crowd wasn’t in there as much as I recall.

      In other words, my jokes went over far better than this video portrays.

      Thanks Pat.
