To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we share a favorite video clip of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics.  This week, we present Dennis Crowley, Co-founder and CEO of Foursquare and a very smart entrepreneur.

In this interesting, three-minute clip from a couple of years ago, Dennis shares some words of wisdom for founders with respect to listening to your customers and iterating.  My favorite quote:  “You make like a sandbox and let the users come in and play with that sandbox — and figure out things they can do and cannot do.”  I hope you enjoy it.  Cheers, Scott

 

 

In case you’re interested, below is Kevin Rose’s recent solid interview of Dennis, which includes his discussion of the new Foursquare app called “Swarm.”
