EVENT DETAILS |
Join us as Tesla Motors cofounder Marc Tarpenningshares the story of the Tesla Roadster & his advice on How to Develop Products When Iteration is Hard.
Entering the market with a new product is always difficult, but how do you do it in a new category with a product like a car, that can't be iterated on quickly? Marc will discuss how he approached this problem in the early days of Tesla Motors.
Marc will share the origin story of Tesla's first product, the Tesla Roadster, along with a few baby pictures of the process. You'll find Marc's advice especially relevant if you work in hardware, physical products, or other product categories where rapid iteration is a challenge.
Join us for dinner, a great talk, & inspiring conversations.
