The Event

Yesterday I went to Tech Alley Henderson, an event geared towards networking and being the centralized hub for tech startups in the Henderson/Las Vegas Area. Last night, John Emmons from Project Wilbur gave a presentation on how companies can get Venture capital funds, and what investors look for when investing into startups for Pre-seed and Seed rounds of investing.

For the second half of the event, they brought on Tax professionals and various other speakers to talk about the administrative and bookkeeping requirements when running a startup to avoid trouble with the IRS and how to minimize your tax obligation.

By far, my favorite of the event was networking afterwards.

My company, NuVision technology is a software consulting firm that helps tech startups build their MVP’s and establish product-market fit for free, to prevent them from spending tons of money on development before they have even proven if there is a need for it in the market.

I’ve personally worked for startups where this has happened, the founder falls in love with his vision, and spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on development, cloud computing, and software maintenance without ever talking to users and gathering feedback to iterate on their product and pivot if need be.

The recurring theme of the night, as I talked to Lorraine Yarde, the host of the event and many other founders that were there that night, is that this is a common problem. Investing thousands, or in some cases millions of dollars into development, before establishing product market fit, talking to customers, and iterating on your product and user experience is the number 1 problem that I see tech startups that fail suffer from.

In total the event was great, I met some awesome tech founders here in the Vegas area and I’m looking forward to attending the next one.

If you want more information on how to set your tech startup for success without spending money on a product you don’t even know if the market wants, then join my newsletter in the in the description of this video, where I show tech founders how to establish product market fit and how to build MVP’s fast to get users testing their product or service.
