#38: How to Announce and Build a Tech Product on a Bootstrap Budget with DeveloperTown Partner

This is a podcast episode titled, #38: How to Announce and Build a Tech Product on a Bootstrap Budget with DeveloperTown Partner. The summary for this episode is: Last Thursday evening, in front of an audience of more than 600 tech entrepreneurs, professionals and investors, I had the privilege of making a monumental announcement. My company, Verge—a community of over 10,000 members in 8 cities across the country—is merging with Powderkeg and reinventing itself as a product company that will continue to serve this incredible community in new and exciting ways. Over the coming months, my team and I will be building a software product that will connect our members to Events, Exposure and Education in ways that have never before been possible for us. In this episode of our podcast—which will continue to be a key component of our evolving mission—we’ve decided to share the pitch I delivered last week for the reimagined Powderkeg. I also pulled aside Mike Kelly from our Indianapolis-based partner, DeveloperTown, to provide high-level feedback on our initial product ideas as well as some expert insights you can apply to your own product-building process. As we embark on our new journey at Powderkeg, we’re so thrilled to be taking our whole audience with us and listening to your feedback at every step along the way.
