Tetuan Valley Startup School V – Session 4

Good morning, Tetuan!

Catching up with Tetuan Valley Startup School Vth Edition’s videos and materials. Here we are with the 4th edition. In this session we had Nathan Ryan as starring-guest-mentor, our own American superhero Katelyn Melan gave the Tetuan Lecture and facilitated the event together with me.

Kately’s lecture

K’s lecture versed on online marketing, how to use the digital platforms and tools, how to create value and build some traction around the founders’ personal brand and the startup’s. The second topic were some 101 pills on lean development process.

 

Nathan’s hacks

In the second part of the session, Nathan Ryan talked on development and how important it is for an entrepreneurial process to build code to be as pragmatic as posible. Playing with thousand variables that could go wrong in the different possible scenarios and building a god-mode app is imposible and it consumes the most valuable of your resources: time. If you’re facing some importan coding decisions, invest your time in the best possible way and watch this talk by Nathan.

 

 

 

We had with us one of our sponsor, David Bastida, founder of YoRespondo.com. David introduced in Spanish their useful service of virtual secretaries to our teams.

 

Pitches

Al last but not least we had 9 pitches from the tetuan teams. The missing one was Mashpan. They were working hard on IE Venture Day Competition.

Battledecks: IE Business School Vs Tetuan Valley, the Wayree & HandsOnRI

By now you should already know what we talk about when we talk about “BattleDecks” or “PowerPoint Karaoke”. The funniest pitching events ever.

Last Monday, 21st November, we had the BattleDeck Challenge of Honor. Our friend David Fogel prepared 12 hilarious Decks, and kept their secrets with his life, so contestants would face the duels with unstained weapons.

 

Lots of cats, zombie charts, sanity sinking statements, and brave champions fighting for their “ladys’” honors. I “volunteered” (or forced to volunteer by Cobi) to be the first to make a fool of my self, and then we had a pin-pon battle.

 

The joust was epic, and even Wayra Spain and HandsOnRI guys made the impossible to bring in a champion to defend their honor. Blood, Epicness, PowerPointLessNess, and lots of fun.

 

Thank you all friends for a really funny and entertaining evening. And hope to see you all soon defending whatever organization that will name you their Paladine.
