关于我们
More Than Playgrounds is an early stage tech startup headquartered in Chicago, IL. Our goal is to build an app to help parents and childcare givers find fun and interesting events and activities for children to do around town, such as storytime for pre-schoolers at the library, children's theater nights, a good beach for swimming, etc. We use AI to find thousands of events and provide personalized recommendations. We're currently targeting events for children ages 0-5, and will eventually expand to children ages 0-18.

?????? ?????????? ????????????? ????????????? ????????????????????????? Why doesn’t #MoreThanPlaygrounds ask our beta testers this question? Because it doesn’t work: they always say yes, regardless of whether they will actually use the product. Instead, we ask: “How would you feel if you could no longer use this product? (A)Very disappointed (B)Somewhat disappointed (C)Not disappointed (D)N/A” We know we reached product-market-fit when we get 40% A’s. AKA: The Sean Ellis test. Sean Ellis’s original description from 2009: https://lnkd.in/dV3rTbB2 #UserResearchRocks #LeanStartup
