So far we have three great talks lined up for you George Berkowski - London's Second Billion Dollar AppGeorge was the Head of Product at HAILO and most recently has published a book called How to Build a Billion Dollar App, where he looks at the factors that went into making the biggest apps in the world such stellar breakout success stories. If that was not enough he also holds a degree in Rocket Science from MIT.@georgeberkowski David Gideh - Using Customer Development to get Traction in a Crowded SpaceDavid was the founder of Sambastream which he sold to Alfresco and is now working on his new server monitoring startup Dataloop.io. He will talk about how they used Customer Development to validate ideas, initial customers and why despite the proliferation of Open-Source tools they are getting traction in a crowded market.@dgildeh Stephan Tual - The upcoming innovation singularityStephan is the COO at the Ethereum project. His focus is on the development of applications deployed on top of a decentralized singleton spanning the globe. He is particularly interested in the potential for societal change engendered by users regaining control over both their funds and personal information.@stephantual One of our regular attendees, Milverton Wallace has recently set up a charity that provides free programming teaching to kids aged 8-14.
