One of the greatest challenges for a startup is ensuring they don't get too comfortable with their assumptions. There are a thousand ways to do something badly, and only a few ways to do something right, and that's why these cards are a great tool for startups - they challenge every aspect of an early-stage business.
James developed the concept and topics amongst various cohorts on Ignite's accelerator program, so they're grounded in practical scenarios. If you're a founder, an advisor or a mentor, they're invaluable; playing the deck will help you ask new questions about your business, and consider new solutions.
Thanks for Hunting, @paul_a_smith =)
The Kickstarter campaign is just over a day in and has *way* exceeded my expectations - it's great to know that they'll become a reality after all these years refining!
Happy to answer anybody's questions about them...
Backed and excited to see these become a reality. Loved the taster cards at Newcastle Startup Week last week and can't wait to be thought provoked by the full set - congrats for making them a reality @jtruk!
We used kickcards in our startup while they were in development. It was a great session! discussions and ideas came out that would have been missed otherwise. I still have the cards we discussed on my desk as a reminder.
I think they're a great tool, especially in small teams who know each other well and are familiar with how each other thinks. It's puts a different brain in the discussion and can shake things up a bit sometimes, or just remind you of the track you set out on
