Conferences - good or bad for early companies? I have heard various comments on this from “Founders don’t belong at conferences unless too they have found PMF” to “It’s the best way to meet prospects” I tend to lean towards high signal uses of time which is a bit less formal on one path or another. Small groups and 1:1s FTW!

I think it depends — the right ones can be great for networking (side events mostly) but large booth activations may not be worth it. Some speaking gigs are good use of time; most likely aren’t. Strategically selecting the right places to be is important I think. But I think trying to buy pmf is a waste— I do agree with that thought (large flashy booth at massive events etc)

Yeah I tend to agree. I think the pre-PMF comment is really saying you have nothing else to focus on before that, so being out trying to sell or evangelize doesn’t make sense beforehand.

i'm aligned with this view. i think of each conference as mini-roadshow, so unless people are swarming to you because what you got is clearly working well, it can be a waste of time for most cases in my personal opinion
