We've struck a deal with LUXr (http://luxr.com), the Lean UX Company, to let us run some of their workshops for our members at a drastically discounted price. The first workshop we're going to run is their course on startup metrics.

Note: This workshop is in addition to our regular monthly meetup. Due to the hands-on format of the workshop, we can only open this up to a smaller number of people.

We hope that you can join us, here are the details:

Measure What Matters: A hands-on workshop in metrics for Lean Startups?

You've got an interesting startup product and you've been
building...but how do you know if you're making progress? Which of the thousand metrics are most important?

At this 1/2 day workshop, we'll do hands-on activities that will help you identify the right metrics for your startup, so that you'll know if your product is gaining traction. We'll use a new tool called the LUXr Bento Box ? the LUXr Bento Box Series is the fastest, most accessible way to put lean methods into practice, to rapidly focus and improve your product.

It?s like a tasty bento box lunch: all the stuff you need in one
delicious package. LUXr Bento Boxes deliver hands-on tools, guided instruction, and video-based coaching to any entrepreneur, accelerator, or product team...anywhere in the world (especially Houston, TX.)

In this workshop you will:
? Identify the most important product metrics
? Build a metrics dashboard
? Set up an information radiator for tracking the metric you most want to change
? Practice collaboration techniques developed by the LUXr team over
years of coaching startup founders
? Gain ongoing access to the video lessons, so that you can revisit
the workshop content at any time

What To Expect

Using a mix of hands-on techniques and online video, we?ll spend 3 hours working through a series of simple steps to define your metrics. You'll identify potential metrics, zero in on which metrics are most important for *your* product, and create a simple tracking tool that your whole team can use to clearly see progress over time.

We'll work in small groups so there will be the opportunity to learn from each other. If you have multiple members of your team attending, you'll work together. Over 50 teams worldwide have used this activity to focus their products and track the numbers that indicate success.

All participants at the workshop will receive a Bento Box. (Yes, it?s an actual box!) Each Bento Box comes complete with all the materials you need to accomplish the activities. (The $100 cost covers the box and the video guidance.) After the workshop, you'll be able to access the videos at any time using an online platform. And if you have questions in the future, the LUXr coaches can help you out via the online platform.

This Meetup activity is a great opportunity to use the tools that
successful Silicon Valley entrepreneurs use, and to rev up your Lean Startup skills. Don't miss this workshop!
