Last month's Founders Drinks: We talk about how founders can use social media for user acquisition
Update: Lichi Wu, director of biz dev at Chalkboard, will take Bernard’s place. Made changes to Chris Ismael’s profile. Unfortunately, Alvin Yap can’t join us for the session. But we’ll have a friend from DeNA joining us at Founders Drinks.
Mobile is huge. We all know that, and that is why we wanted this month’s Founders Drinks to focus on mobile apps — particularly on usability, design, and monetization. These are the elements (trade-offs) which start-ups going on mobile have to balance.
The topic is pretty big, so we decided to drop the start-up sharing session to allow more time to expand the panel discussion. Depending on the questions asked by our audience, the discussions will focus on the following topics:
- Mobile design and its relationship with user experience
- Mobile app design and usability across different platforms and geographical locations
- Trends in mobile (i.e Augmented reality as a feature)
- Panelists’ experience in the mobile industry
- Various ways to monetize your apps
On a related note, Stanford University has an interesting lecture video on these topics. You can watch it here.
