Overview

The Startup Lessons Learned Conference (#sllconf) was Friday April 23rd, 2010. This post is an effort to capture press coverage and blog commentary on the conference that will be of use to entrepreneurs. I will update it periodically through the end of May 2010 as I become aware of new blog posts. Please feel free to contact me and suggest a post you have found useful.

The conference was streamed live to more than 60 locations by Justin.tv, their video archive is at http://www.justin.tv/startuplessonslearned/all If you missed the conference and are planning to watch the videos I would encourage you to read this blog post first: “Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Startup Lessons Learned Conference (SLLConf)”
