Recently, I gave a talk at the awesome Techcrunch Geek n Rolla event, which was a quickfire day of presentations and panels for London based entrepreneurs, with about 200 in attendance. Mark summarised some of the highlights from the day in the previous post.
My task, was to give startups some practical advice on how to generate revenues from an early stage – specifically looking at advertising and affiliate marketing.
This past Tuesday, Joe and I turned our backs on the glorious London springtime weather we’ve been graced with this week, and instead joined a multitude of Europe’s finest web movers and shakers at Geek’n'Rolla 2009. With the day packed full of fascinating panels, pitches and talks (including one by the illustrious Joe Stepniewski himself), we thought we’d bring you some of our highlights.
Our friend Andy McLoughlin from Huddle had some great tips for hiring a top-notch team whatever business you’re in. Hiring is like falling in love, when it’s right, you’ll know. Don’t compromise. Huddle uses a famed four point scale for rating candidates: Definitely No, Maybe No, Maybe Yes and Definitely Yes. If there are three people involved in the hiring, you need three Definite Yes’s.
The Skimlinks team is keeping busy with Joe and Alicia both speaking at events this month.
