Fantastic, inspiring event – thank you!

Good work last night, brilliant event and very well organised.

I also loved how you mixed things up too with Q&A, different stage locations, chat, show of hands/stands, one-to-one surgery etc. Great evening. Thanks.

Sadly for late comers, The Lean Startup Talk with Eric Ries next Monday is sold out. We have had an overwhelming response for the event and we simply have no more capacity for people.

It is possible that we will have a very small number of tickets that we can make available so please join the waiting list if you would like to come and we will TRY, with no guarantees, to fit others in if we can. We will not be able to accommodate turn ups on the day.

There are some other opportunties to see Eric on this trip (apologies for ripping this straight from Eric’s blog:

This is the attendee list for the BLN CEO Tales event with Eric Ries, The Lean Startup on 16th January 2012.

“For Masabi, winning the BLN MiM Award has been a real boost. In particular winning the award facing such strong competition, and having been judged by a wide range of respected industry experts and investors, has been terrific for the company in terms of raising awareness and building credibility. On the back of this platform, Masabi has continued to generate significant momentum, securing new customers and launching new products. If you want to raise your profile with decision makers in the mobile world, you should definitely enter the MiM Award 2012.” CEO, Masabi

We’re running the MiM Award 2012 (apply here, deadline 1st March 2012). It was a big success last year with 53 fast growing mobile businesses entering and 12 great presentations on the day of the MiM Forum. Entering awards is always a good idea and here are 6 reasons why you should enter the MiM Award 2012.

1. Build profile. Winning the MiM Award builds your profile in front of some the most influential people in mobile (see MiM Judging Panel)

2. Meet customers, meet investors, meet acquirers.  Ah yes, that magic group of people that everyone wants to meet. Being shortlisted means you present your business at the MiM Forum and get to impress and network with potential customers, active investors and people who might want to buy your business.

3. Press. Previous winners of the MiM Award received extensive coverage from our media partners and other members of the press, including mobiThinking, Mobile Marketing Magazine, Agora Media, The Next Women, MoMoLo and many more. That sort of press attention is really difficult to come by.

4. Show your team how awesome you are. Winning the MiM Award lets you demonstrate to your team and employees just how successful you all are – great for motivating.

5. Make your competitors shiver with inadequacy and customers squeal with delight. Winning the MiM Award means you are a trustworthy business to work with.

6. It’s free and only takes 5 minutes to complete the registration process. Click here to learn more and enter.

Congratulations again to Masabi who won the MiM Award in 2011. Check out their winning presentation below:
