Advice for Entrepreneurs from GrubHub’s Mike Evans

I became the organizer of the Chicago Lean Startup Circle in July, along with my co-organizers Eduardo Fernandez, Brandon McNamara and Dan Wellish. It’s been a lot of fun so far, and I’m looking forward to a great fall lineup of speakers and events.

Our September meetup featured GrubHub’s Mike Evans talking about Minimum Viable Product and Unit Economics. It was a great talk and a great Q&A session. Even though I’ve worked with startups for over 15 years, I still found myself taking notes.

Ed Domain did a nice write-up on the event over at Flyover Geeks, and thanks to LSC member Subbu Arumugam, we’ve got videos of both the Talk and the Q&A session on our Vimeo channel.

Here’s the video of the talk:

Here’s a link to the Q&A session. It’s about an hour but has a lot of great feedback for entrepreneurs.
