Startup SpotTrot Rocks STUFF For Dave Matthews & Others [Friends of Marty's]

Startup SpotTrot Rocks STUFF For Dave Matthews & Others [Friends of Marty's] | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
From upstart.bizjournals.com - February 25, 2013 3:12 PM
The chart-topping and award-winning songwriter also loves technology. His investment in Charlottesville, Va.-based SpotTrot is letting musicians, entertainers, sports teams and athletes sell goods over mobile devices for the first time.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

If you don't know about the cool Mobile App my friends Patrick and Blake at SpotTrot have created you should and you will. Love how Blake and Patrick narrowed their focus, understood their very cool customers’ needs and began fixing stuff so bands can make money from STUFF. Since few bands make money from "record" sales anymore STUFF pays the bills and SpotTrot helps. 

Very cool. Love it when friends with great ideas make good, and there are lessons for all startup entrepreneurs in SpotTrot's victory including:

* Narrow your focus. 
* Find real pain points and solve the problem. 
* Doing something COOL helps scale.
* Start ugly and improve as you go.

* Listen more than you talk.

* Innovate and then innovate again. 
* MOBILE is changing everything.

As more things get connected to each other, how can businesses capitalize on the growing 'Internet of Things?' PricewaterhouseCoopers chief technologist Chris Curran joins the News Hub with Sara Murray.

Marty Note
Turns out a forgettable movie, Tom Cruise's Minority Report,  may be prescient for our Internet of Things Future. Fascinating interview with WSJ's Sarah Murray and Price Waterhouse's Chris Curran explores tapping and mashing up the "real data' that's all around us now.

How can we replace guesses with real data.

Retail is "an interesting one" because it involves people and places. Emerging uses of sensors. Others are not so obvious like the power business where sensors can help "optimize the process".
