2017-02-21 - SensorFu External Collaboration

SensorFu has structured their development plans and are now looking at what will be build in-house, and for can be outsourced.

  • Jesse and Jani from http://remod.fi visited us.
  • @turmi0 introduced the idea of SensorFu.
  • Jesse@Remod and Jani@Remod envisioned a gateway-drug for the SensorFu product, as well as talked about different product ideas.

2017-01-31 - SensorFu Kickstart

SensorFu workshop. Kickstarting the R&D. @Turmi0 from SensorFu recapped alternative tech-paths. @oherrala provided details and opinions. We ruthlessly picked @ecode's brains as he made the mistake of visiting us. @evilon and @fenris messed up the whiteboards and asked a lot of questions.

  • We reflected the implications of different technical choices to collaboration:
    • in-house development,
    • collaboration with scanabc companies, and
    • collaboration with scanabc partners (F-Solutions, Remod, etc...)
  • Sales vectors. Positioning SensorFu tech:
    • Simplified: "I get this problem, and easy to jump on-board"
    • Positioning through long term vision - longer term work as the customers have not planned purchases on such product.
    • Familiar: piggybacking with marketing $$$ from others, but get distracted with unaligned feature parity requests.
  • Killed a hefty amount of alternatives for now, zeroing in on an MVP.

Kielo arranged a failure-themed Tuesday.

  • Ari Takanen from Kielo opened the session by listing the typical startup challenges
  • @evilon from Ääkköset Oy enjoyed a lot talking about his failures in life and work.
  • Mikko from Sonolux spoke about how to burn money to build perfectly built loudspeakers and how he dealt with the failures before pivoting for something commercially viable.
  • Mika Ruostesuo from Ruostesuo Consulting gave a simple message in his talk: if you haven't failed, you haven't tried hard enough.

Later the day we gathered together with the HowNetWorks crew to plan an awareness campaign about URI:teller.
