Hi everybody,
The temperatures are dropping and that is a good reason to stay inside, in the Leslie eLab, that is. I hope that since we opened our doors in September you have had a chance to swing by, see the space, and get inspired to build your startup here! If you haven't, just come on over for a steamy cup of coffee or hot chocolate, join fellow startup entrepreneurs working on startups, and attend one of our awesome events! Make sure not to miss these:

Talking to Humans offers concrete examples on how to how to recruit candidates, how to conduct interviews, and how to prioritize learning from customers.
