Words of Wisdom from Dennis Crowley
by Scott Edward Walker on November 30th, 2014To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.” Each week, we share a favorite video clip of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics. This week, we present Dennis Crowley, Co-founder and CEO of Foursquare and a very smart entrepreneur.
In this interesting, three-minute clip from a couple of years ago, Dennis shares some words of wisdom for founders with respect to listening to your customers and iterating. My favorite quote: “You make like a sandbox and let the users come in and play with that sandbox — and figure out things they can do and cannot do.” I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Scott
