thanks! that seems to be the problem in the siliconvalley startup world - growthgrowthgrowth - with any means necessary just to get the higher valuation for the next round. Basic profitability gets overlooked. I'd rather grow slowly but self-sustainingly
EN Lecture 4 - Building Product, Talking to Users, and Growing: Mistakes, Immersion, MVPs, User Feedback, and Sustainable Growth Strategies (Adora Cheung) 📝 The speaker discusses the mistakes made in starting a startup and emphasizes the importance of validating the problem and being passionate about it before building a product. 00:23 The speaker shares their experience of going through YC and making mistakes in previous startups. 00:23 The novice approach of not seeking feedback and launching without user validation leads to failure. 02:27 The importance of understanding the problem the idea is solving and verifying if others have the same problem. 03:32 The mistake of building a product for a problem the founders were not passionate about. 04:06 The speaker advises to think about the problem and validate it before investing time in building a product. 05:14 🔑 To start solving a problem in an industry, immerse yourself in that industry, learn the details, and exploit inefficiencies. 05:40 Immerse yourself in the industry to understand the little bits and pieces and identify inefficiencies. 05:40 Become a cog in the industry to gain insights and exploit inefficiencies. 05:55 Learn from professionals and get hands-on experience in the industry. 06:21 Be obsessively knowledgeable about the industry and its competitors. 08:55 Establish yourself as an expert in the industry to gain trust. 09:48 Identify and focus on specific customer segments to optimize for their needs. 10:00 Storyboard the ideal user experience before creating the product. 10:27 💡 The process of building a minimum viable product (MVP) and acquiring initial users 12:01 Building an MVP involves identifying the smallest feature set to solve the problem at hand and talking to potential users for feedback 12:01 Having a clear and concise product positioning is important to attract users 12:47 Initial users can be friends, family, and local communities, as well as online platforms like Hacker News 14:26 Homejoy used street fairs to approach potential users and convince them to book a cleaning service 15:40 💡 The founder discusses the early stages of Homejoy, including how they attracted users and gathered feedback. 16:11 They guilt-tripped people into booking cleanings by handing out free bottles of cold water. 16:11 They found that most people who booked cleanings did not cancel afterwards. 16:35 To gather feedback, they provided a way for users to contact them and went out to meet users in person. 17:46 They emphasized the importance of making users feel comfortable and having a conversation rather than interrogating them. 19:16 Tracking customer retention and collecting reviews and ratings were key metrics they used to assess their progress. 20:03 They cautioned about the honesty curve and the need to account for people who may lie in feedback. 21:23 📝 The importance of user feedback and optimizing for growth stages. 21:37 User feedback is valuable, with honest feedback coming from friends and paying users. 21:37 Paid users provide the best feedback as they have invested money in the product. 22:30 Optimize features for the current stage of growth, not future stages. 24:07 Manual processes and data collection are important before automating. 24:59 Temporary brokenness is better than permanent paralysis, focus on the core user. 26:30 Avoid the Frankenstein approach and build for future edge cases. 27:01 🚀 When building a product, it is important to listen to user feedback, but also understand the underlying problem they are trying to solve before implementing features. Launching a product early is crucial to gather user feedback and iterate on growth strategies. 27:09 Understand the reason behind user feature requests before building them. 27:09 Launching a product early allows for gathering user feedback and iterating on growth strategies. 28:40 Focus on one growth channel at a time and iterate on it. 30:02 Continuously optimize and iterate on successful growth channels. 30:52 Revisit failed channels in the future as circumstances may change. 31:24 Creativity is key in finding unique and effective growth strategies. 32:28 📈 There are three types of growth: sticky, viral, and paid. Sticky growth focuses on getting existing users to use the product more, viral growth relies on users spreading the word about the product, and paid growth involves using money to buy growth. 33:05 Sticky growth aims to increase usage and revenue from existing users by delivering a good and addictive user experience. 33:05 Viral growth depends on users sharing and recommending the product to others, so delivering a remarkable experience is crucial. 33:22 Paid growth involves using financial resources to acquire new users and drive growth. 33:35 Sustainable growth means ensuring that the money and time invested in the product yield a good return on investment. 33:41 Cohort analysis and customer lifetime value (CLV) are used to measure sticky growth and retention over time. 34:21 To achieve viral growth, a good experience must be combined with a well-designed referral program. 38:46 💰 The importance of customer touch points, program mechanics, and paid growth in referral programs. Understanding CLV and CAC for sustainable growth. 39:36 Customer touch points include after sign up and after product usage. 39:36 Different program mechanics can be tested, such as $10 for $10 or 25 for 25. 40:44 Optimizing the conversion flow when friends click on referral links. 41:47 Paid growth involves spending money to acquire users, with the goal of CLV exceeding CAC. 41:54 Consider CLV and CAC for different customer segments to determine ad effectiveness. 44:01 Sustainability is important to avoid spending beyond means and potential unsustainable growth. 44:32 📊 Pivoting is important when growth is stagnant or the business economics don't make sense. 45:38 Payback time is important, with 3 months being safe and beyond 12 months being unsafe. 45:38 The art of pivoting involves looking at criteria such as growth, user retention, and business economics. 46:35 To pivot, have a growth plan and consider a pivot if there is no growth for three consecutive weeks. 47:31 To get users to switch to a new product, find moments where your product is better or differentiated from existing solutions. 50:08 📝 It is difficult to convince users to switch to a new product with many benefits, so it is better to have one or two clear differentiating features. 51:32 Many people find it hard to switch to a new product with multiple benefits. 51:32 Even if the benefits outweigh the switch-over costs, it is still difficult to convince users. 51:49 Aggregating all the benefits over many little things is challenging. 51:58 It is better to have one or two clear differentiating features
What I would ask her today is, what would you have done differently to keep your startup from running out of money and shutting doors for good? And then go on to ask her what the aftermath was like dealing with all the implications that came with all the stake holders
44:10 "some one in national tennessee is going to be much larger than [...] lifetime value of someone in Czechoslovakia "... yeah since there is no Czechoslovakia since 1993 :D
At that point I closed the video. I don't know if it because of the school system in US. But when you don't know about something than DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. that easy
Very good lecture! You are an amazing entrepreneur and an inspiration to all. It's rare to see someone willing to sell to strangers, clean houses and learn to code all an effort to ensure their own success.
I am doing a 10 week course within my study about lean startups. I am going to try and make a summary for this video to increase my understanding, thanks for making these videos!
There are many positive feedback here. One of the lesson from it is: **Users give different feedback depending upon whether the product/service is paid or free** (@21:10). Note that this video is delivered for free. Is there a possibility that they leave those positive feedback because it's free?
The speaker, Adora Cheung, is giving a talk on how to go from zero users to many users when starting a startup. She emphasizes the importance of having a lot of time to concentrate on the startup, becoming an expert in the industry, identifying customer segments, and storyboarding the user experience before building the product. She also discusses the concept of a minimum viable product (MVP) and the importance of getting user feedback. She suggests that the first users of the product should be people the founders are connected with, such as friends and family. She also mentions the importance of tracking customer retention and using reviews and ratings to gauge the success of the product. She also talks about the different types of growth: sticky growth, viral growth, and paid growth. Sticky growth is about getting existing users to come back and pay more or use the product more. Viral growth is when people talk about the product and refer it to others. Paid growth is when a company uses money to buy growth, for example through advertising. She emphasizes the importance of sustainability in growth, meaning that the money and time put into the product should have a good return on investment. She also mentions the importance of pivoting when an idea is not working, and the importance of having a growth plan and being able to recognize when it's time to move on to a new idea. She suggests that if a company is not growing after three or four weeks of executing on a product, it may be time to consider a pivot.
@@HungrysitesRuShe can, everyone who has done business has failed. There is still relevance. But here it seems obvious why this failed. It was offering cheap labour then increasing the price and then the employees preferring getting rid of the middle man cost so they lost out. They also didn't differentiate. And they overspent. Plenty of lessons on how to not do things. Personally I think the initial idea lacked being a 'real' issue, they didn't explore enough into the future, they did not have a clear mission to galvanise people, it was more a get rich quick by taking a percentage by connecting people, which is not effective as people will try to cut out the middle man and the product was cheap so attracted the wrong type of customers.
The amount of money PPl return back to u is that more than your cac ? (Customer acquisition cost ) CLV - CAC = 0 then it's okay / if more than 0 ur gaining profit
I was doubtful regarding her principles from the start of the lecture, I was wondering how she created such a successful start-up. Then I looked about it on Wikipedia and was ooh.
I'll skip this because Adora doesn't have any successful experience. I prefer listening to real business owners than failed startupers (indistinguishable from con artists). Show me you can actually build a profitable business before lecturing. Otherwise the playlist is awesome.
so unclear....WHAT DID U DO AT THE FAIR? did u pitch them at the fair? did u put a label on the bottle , did u force them to sign up before u gave them the water?
Such a disappointing lecture. Low information/word ratio. Considering how much emphasis YC puts on building product and talking to users, you'd think they would have let a better entrepreneur and speaker give this lecture. And maybe do more than just 1/20 lectures on the things you should be doing most of the time.
There is lots of break in your talk with distract me from concentrating from what do you want to convey. I have learn a lots of thing from this video but still this can be make more valuable if you say smoothly all what you want to convey. Thank You hoping to get more values in future.

I mean a lot
Andrew = good samaritan. Thank you.
Verynice job... You know?
thanks man
This is really important lesson from this class: *Users give different feedback depending upon whether the product/service is paid or free.* see @21:10.
My thoughts exactly!
this video is delivered for free. Is there a possibility that you would leave a different feedback if it's behind a paid wall?
Brilliant
watching this lecture with increased speed really helps to focus on the important parts and notice less of the ' you know's '
true
Good material. Be sure to read about how Homejoy failed about 9 months after this was recorded.
Lol
www.wired.com/2015/10/why-homejoy-failed/
one of the best ways to learn is reading about other failures lol
lol that was direct
thanks! that seems to be the problem in the siliconvalley startup world - growthgrowthgrowth - with any means necessary just to get the higher valuation for the next round. Basic profitability gets overlooked. I'd rather grow slowly but self-sustainingly
The degrees of honesty graph is probably one of the biggest "golden nuggets" from this lecture!👌

Lecture 4 - Building Product, Talking to Users, and Growing: Mistakes, Immersion, MVPs, User Feedback, and Sustainable Growth Strategies (Adora Cheung)
📝 The speaker discusses the mistakes made in starting a startup and emphasizes the importance of validating the problem and being passionate about it before building a product.

The importance of understanding the problem the idea is solving and verifying if others have the same problem.
03:32
The mistake of building a product for a problem the founders were not passionate about.
04:06
The speaker advises to think about the problem and validate it before investing time in building a product.
05:14
🔑 To start solving a problem in an industry, immerse yourself in that industry, learn the details, and exploit inefficiencies.
05:40
Immerse yourself in the industry to understand the little bits and pieces and identify inefficiencies.
05:40
Become a cog in the industry to gain insights and exploit inefficiencies.
05:55
Learn from professionals and get hands-on experience in the industry.

09:48
Identify and focus on specific customer segments to optimize for their needs.
10:00
Storyboard the ideal user experience before creating the product.
10:27
💡 The process of building a minimum viable product (MVP) and acquiring initial users
12:01
Building an MVP involves identifying the smallest feature set to solve the problem at hand and talking to potential users for feedback
12:01
Having a clear and concise product positioning is important to attract users
12:47
Initial users can be friends, family, and local communities, as well as online platforms like Hacker News
14:26
Homejoy used street fairs to approach potential users and convince them to book a cleaning service
15:40
💡 The founder discusses the early stages of Homejoy, including how they attracted users and gathered feedback.
16:11
They guilt-tripped people into booking cleanings by handing out free bottles of cold water.
16:11
They found that most people who booked cleanings did not cancel afterwards.
16:35
To gather feedback, they provided a way for users to contact them and went out to meet users in person.
17:46
They emphasized the importance of making users feel comfortable and having a conversation rather than interrogating them.
19:16
Tracking customer retention and collecting reviews and ratings were key metrics they used to assess their progress.
20:03
They cautioned about the honesty curve and the need to account for people who may lie in feedback.
21:23
📝 The importance of user feedback and optimizing for growth stages.
21:37
User feedback is valuable, with honest feedback coming from friends and paying users.
21:37
Paid users provide the best feedback as they have invested money in the product.
22:30
Optimize features for the current stage of growth, not future stages.
24:07
Manual processes and data collection are important before automating.
24:59
Temporary brokenness is better than permanent paralysis, focus on the core user.
26:30
Avoid the Frankenstein approach and build for future edge cases.
27:01
🚀 When building a product, it is important to listen to user feedback, but also understand the underlying problem they are trying to solve before implementing features. Launching a product early is crucial to gather user feedback and iterate on growth strategies.
27:09
Understand the reason behind user feature requests before building them.
27:09
Launching a product early allows for gathering user feedback and iterating on growth strategies.
28:40
Focus on one growth channel at a time and iterate on it.
30:02
Continuously optimize and iterate on successful growth channels.
30:52
Revisit failed channels in the future as circumstances may change.
31:24
Creativity is key in finding unique and effective growth strategies.
32:28
📈 There are three types of growth: sticky, viral, and paid. Sticky growth focuses on getting existing users to use the product more, viral growth relies on users spreading the word about the product, and paid growth involves using money to buy growth.
33:05
Sticky growth aims to increase usage and revenue from existing users by delivering a good and addictive user experience.
33:05
Viral growth depends on users sharing and recommending the product to others, so delivering a remarkable experience is crucial.
33:22
Paid growth involves using financial resources to acquire new users and drive growth.
33:35
Sustainable growth means ensuring that the money and time invested in the product yield a good return on investment.
33:41
Cohort analysis and customer lifetime value (CLV) are used to measure sticky growth and retention over time.
34:21
To achieve viral growth, a good experience must be combined with a well-designed referral program.
38:46
💰 The importance of customer touch points, program mechanics, and paid growth in referral programs. Understanding CLV and CAC for sustainable growth.
39:36
Customer touch points include after sign up and after product usage.
39:36
Different program mechanics can be tested, such as $10 for $10 or 25 for 25.
40:44
Optimizing the conversion flow when friends click on referral links.
41:47
Paid growth involves spending money to acquire users, with the goal of CLV exceeding CAC.
41:54
Consider CLV and CAC for different customer segments to determine ad effectiveness.
44:01
Sustainability is important to avoid spending beyond means and potential unsustainable growth.
44:32
📊 Pivoting is important when growth is stagnant or the business economics don't make sense.
45:38
Payback time is important, with 3 months being safe and beyond 12 months being unsafe.
45:38
The art of pivoting involves looking at criteria such as growth, user retention, and business economics.
46:35
To pivot, have a growth plan and consider a pivot if there is no growth for three consecutive weeks.
47:31
To get users to switch to a new product, find moments where your product is better or differentiated from existing solutions.
50:08
📝 It is difficult to convince users to switch to a new product with many benefits, so it is better to have one or two clear differentiating features.
51:32
Many people find it hard to switch to a new product with multiple benefits.
51:32
Even if the benefits outweigh the switch-over costs, it is still difficult to convince users.
51:49
Aggregating all the benefits over many little things is challenging.
51:58
It is better to have one or two clear differentiating features
At 28:00 min. mark - I like Adora's take on competition. As an old boss I had used to say "Paranoia is merely a heightened sense of reality."
Okay, stealing your quote.
Great talk from a company that shut down one year later
so they don''t exist anymore?
What I would ask her today is, what would you have done differently to keep your startup from running out of money and shutting doors for good? And then go on to ask her what the aftermath was like dealing with all the implications that came with all the stake holders
great talk and helpful. Just cos Homejoy failed does not mean you cannot learn from Ms. Cheung here.
@Crebs Park definitely not koreanese hahahah
it is korean not koreanese
It kinda does
True
44:10 "some one in national tennessee is going to be much larger than [...] lifetime value of someone in Czechoslovakia "... yeah since there is no Czechoslovakia since 1993 :D
I was laughing at this thinking the same thing
That is really bad since I doubt she ever learned about it in school so it is weird how come it can be in her mind.
At that point I closed the video. I don't know if it because of the school system in US. But when you don't know about something than DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. that easy
I just wanted to post the same comment now... :D Díky Vojto! :D
Was going to make that comment and earn likes of it ):
Very good lecture! You are an amazing entrepreneur and an inspiration to all.
It's rare to see someone willing to sell to strangers, clean houses and learn to code all an effort to ensure their own success.
So glad I signed up for this class
So amazing these lectures. All these insights for free. It's insane.
Some of the best, most useable points in this video. Awesome stuff.
I am doing a 10 week course within my study about lean startups. I am going to try and make a summary for this video to increase my understanding, thanks for making these videos!
do you still have the summary
This is such a great series. This is my fave so far! Nice job Adora!
+Heather Burns You favorite lecture is the one that's most boring? Interesting. Did you even watch Paul Graham knock it out of the park?
Good lecture, worth listening back multiple times. also worth adding that this is eight years old not all the information is still relevant
Which part do you think is not relevant anymore?
if you like this video I can really recommend reading The Lean Startup by Eric Ries.
read the book in may. Absolute gold. Its shocking how so many startups fail just because they dont validate their theories and products.
44:10 - Czechoslovakia is not a country anymore.
Which is why a customer there has a low CLV
Private Assisted Suicide - a possible successful business with "really bad" retention curve.
Informative and practical advice. Delivery was dry but the content was very engaging.
There are many positive feedback here. One of the lesson from it is: **Users give different feedback depending upon whether the product/service is paid or free** (@21:10). Note that this video is delivered for free. Is there a possibility that they leave those positive feedback because it's free?
This is the lean startup framework. It's incredible
Mistakes are fundamental and it is the heart and core of startups.
So far the best speak.
she did a great job!!!!!...i loved this
Great lecture, wish she used less "you know"
yep, too much... but great advice anyway
Good points at 45:30, 49:47, & 52:00
Czech Republic. Slovakia is now independent.
The section with LTV and CAC is so valuable
nearly falling asleep. emotionless speach. however good material.
same, way too thirsty for money with almost 0 passion stereotype
Yeah. She talks like an engineer and someone that is highly technical. Same problem I have.
noob approach
1. build product in secret
2. exclusive press launch
3. wait for users
4. buy users
5. give up
Lean Startup + Customer Development + Woman without big vision
Great stuff I'm learning a lot
at 1:13 it already looks intriguing :)
THANK YOU!
this one is really useful, not blablabla startup blablabla growth
Takeaways...
Anything is possible
44:20 -Czechoslovakia doesn't a exist since like 25 years!
Abiut which Project/Startup is she speaking around 04:00 ??
so objective, practical and clear
Good points + nice presentation
Tooo uch information in one lecture. So many questions and so many points,terms that i couldn't understand.

This was very useful. Thank you.
Content was good.. Very poor delivery.. Other lectures so far have had way more inspiring speakers!
"Homejoy shut down in 2015 due to poor customer retention rates, high customer acquisition costs"
Irony 😂
they prefer growth over revenue.. that's why! Nothing like irony... they are best people to learn from!
@@sahilramteke2132 she failed. End of story. She cannot teach us how to do business.
@@HungrysitesRuShe can, everyone who has done business has failed. There is still relevance. But here it seems obvious why this failed. It was offering cheap labour then increasing the price and then the employees preferring getting rid of the middle man cost so they lost out. They also didn't differentiate. And they overspent. Plenty of lessons on how to not do things. Personally I think the initial idea lacked being a 'real' issue, they didn't explore enough into the future, they did not have a clear mission to galvanise people, it was more a get rich quick by taking a percentage by connecting people, which is not effective as people will try to cut out the middle man and the product was cheap so attracted the wrong type of customers.
too many "you know.." :(
learned a lot.
The amount of money PPl return back to u is that more than your cac ? (Customer acquisition cost )
CLV - CAC = 0 then it's okay / if more than 0 ur gaining profit
Yeah, and her business failed in 2015, after 1 year from the speech
This is great. I'm surprised at the thumbs up ratio.
Pretty simple stuff, but well presented.
Why their company failed then?
there is no more Czechoslovakia... Its Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. 44:00
You Big Bang Theory Watching Americans oh my xd
Didn't Homejoy die recently?
+gueneykerim The lecture is from 2014. They were cool then :)
They died due to poor customer acquisition
I was doubtful regarding her principles from the start of the lecture, I was wondering how she created such a successful start-up. Then I looked about it on Wikipedia and was ooh.
So ship the product free for friends and family get the feedback and ship to random people while selling them.
The HomeJoy were shut down
35:44 good ol' 2014, she would get cancelled for saying that today!
It is a wonderful session
1 year later, and they're out of business. probably should not take too much away from this webinar. they grew too fast.
“You should, you should. You know, you know “ is half of what she’s saying.. very hard to listen and follow.
nice content but i found that there is a lot of abbreviation needs to be explained, Thanks!
Just awesome
Damn! Homejoy shutdown
great talk.
21:17 #honestycurve
btw it's the Czech Republic and Slovakia since 1993..
"what happens when you clean their house and they refuse to pay?"
"you shit on their floor and leave"
what is clv(ijk)
Great. Thank you.
Great lecture! Well done!
Nice
I felt like I was left Fielder, center Fielder, right Fielder and short stop trying to catch her fragmentation. Wow. That is not easy for my ADD.
> So a lot of it comes from failure
Yeah
I'll skip this because Adora doesn't have any successful experience. I prefer listening to real business owners than failed startupers (indistinguishable from con artists).
Show me you can actually build a profitable business before lecturing.
Otherwise the playlist is awesome.
Her hair is so shiny!
nice insights
Looks like she is thinking about her startup through out the video which is going to shutdown. I am watching this video in 2024 Jan 27
Finished, thanks
Great :) Thnx!
so unclear....WHAT DID U DO AT THE FAIR? did u pitch them at the fair? did u put a label on the bottle , did u force them to sign up before u gave them the water?
I would assume schedule a cleaning and get a free frozen water.
30:00
Ppt text font and size manipulation is not good Sam's ppt were more eye catching

4th Video of the Day.
and It is informative, but hard to understand.
I’d rather have a few extremely happy and satisfied customers.
21:10
Such a disappointing lecture.
Low information/word ratio.
Considering how much emphasis YC puts on building product and talking to users, you'd think they would have let a better entrepreneur and speaker give this lecture.
And maybe do more than just 1/20 lectures on the things you should be doing most of the time.
GOLD
Kunal Shah
very helpfull
Way too many "youknows" but quite helpful lecture.
czsk country fans: 43:37 ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ can confirm ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
Eyebrows have left the chat
Andddd her company failed
