1. Market Product Fit — which is a common concept you will come across with in the startup world. Practically it allows you to measure the degree to which a product satisfies a strong market demand. You may also know it as Minimum Viable Product (MVP) which is the product that solves the existing problem in market.
2. Team — you may have noticed how most founders keep pointing at this, but it plays a very important role when building your product. Those who are loyal and motivated will always work towards the best.
3. Execution — Good Ideas Are Important, But Execution Is Key.
These are the takeaways from our very interactive tech talk with the Co-Founder&CEO of Craftbase Hakan ERDOGAN.
Here is a quick look into the last DevCircle event of 2019. On December 28 (yeap you got it right- couple days before New Year!) we had the opportunity to get introduced to PyTorch and learn about Deep Learning and Neural Networks, PyTorch and Tensors, Linear Regression with PyTorch and Image Classification with PyTorch. Once again big thanks to Maysam Asgari-Chenaghlu and Omid Safarzadeh for their presentation and the question and answer session.
This was the end of 2019 with Facebook Developers Circle Istanbul Team! First event of 2020 will be happening soon on January 18.
