DeMo Intro Deck, January 2012

Deck I used to walk through the introductions, housekeeping, and overview of DeMo for the January 2012 session at Startup City in Des Moines. I'm sharing this so that folks who weren't in attendance might get a better idea of what DeMo is all about. You can read about the January 2012 presentations on my blog:

  9. WHAT TO ASK?
    • “I’m not even sure where to start...share your overall
    impressions...”
    • “We’re losing a lot of people at the second checkout screen...”
    • “This approach has been really difficult. What platform might
    be better for this?”
    • “X, Y, and Z have been hard. Where do I find the right kind of
    people to help me with these issues?”
