Startup Lessons Learned 2011 Roundup

This is a recap of the presentations from the 2011 Startup Lessons  Learned Conference. My intent is to provide links to the presentations, videos, and relevant blog post for each session.

Startup Lessons Learned 2011 Roundup

Update Aug-5-2014: none of the Justin.TV links resolve at this point because of their exit from the video hosting business. As I find other sources for the video I will correct the broken links. The conference personnel have recovered the 2010 presentations but have yet to post the 2011 videos.
