FreeElio Narciso’s Customer-First Guide For Building Innovative Products
Elio Narciso is passionate about technology, making the world better, and having fun while combining the two. And, he loves startups.
His career includes years of designing and launching go-to-market initiatives for mid to late-stage enterprise tech startups with Amazon AWS. He also successfully co-founded and exited two tech startups with deals valued at over $80 million.
Today, Elio is the co-founder and CEO of Scalestack where he’s building a one-of-a-kind AI copilot for sales that uncovers and integrates market data to accelerate business wins.
In his Founders Network global keynote on March 15, Elio will cover what he describes as the ‘working backward’ methodology, which is the blueprint behind Amazon’s customer-centric innovation framework. In addition to sharing more about this methodology for product success, Elio will also dive into how to build a strong team culture.
During his keynote, Elio will cover his startup journey and keys to success along with:
- How to vet your product idea before writing any code
- The power of putting pen to paper to align teams
- Building products that solve consumer problems
- The steps needed to define, hire against, and stick to your culture
