DICE is…a ticketing app for concerts? Sure. But that’s not the story. “Live shows makes us feel good.” — “Get out.” — “Music discovery.” — “Where we combine and come alive.” — “For Fans and for Artists. Not Scalpers and Scammers.” THAT’s what DICE does. They don’t sell tickets. They’re selling a night out with your friends, making friends, blowing minds, coming alive. And, what do you do after a DICE night? You tell your friends about it. https://dice.fm/ cc: Phil Hutcheon Russ Tannen Build Collective #BuildBook #BUILD #BuildCollective #music #live #entertainment

The customer journey needs to delight at every juncture. Let’s just take one single feature of the all-electric Lightship #RV: HVAC. One efficient, reliable heat-pump cools+heats the RV, efficiently, quietly, for days. It runs on batteries - no noisy generators, no fuel, no fumes. It’s tucked into the aerodynamic bodywork, not an appendage mounted on the roof. The air is fresh, filtered, dehumidified. And you control it with your phone. When the customer journey is an actual journey, you want to travel with people that care every step of the way. www.lightshiprv.com cc: Toby Kraus Ben Parker Build Collective #BuildBook #BUILD #BuildCollective #electric #outdoors #innovation

The origin story of any great product doesn’t begin with that product. It starts with a problem. The #iPod was a better way to listen to your #music. The Nest Thermostat is a better way to stay comfortable. I gave a TED Talk about this: https://lnkd.in/daViczeB Careful though. Watching it will make you see things you’ve trained yourself to ignore. And they will drive you CRAZY. Which, if you’re looking for things that need solving, is great. #BuildBook #BUILD #BuildCollective #technology #innovation #entrepreneurship

This is Dot. Dot is Understory's #weather sensor. It captures 125,000 weather-related metrics per second, including hail size, force, and angle. It started as a research project. Now, 10 years later, it delivers real-time ground-truth data for Understory’s one-of-a-kind #AI-powered #insurance coverage. When #climate change leads to uninsurable assets, Understory drops Dot to get a better read on risk, provide better coverage, at better rates. https://lnkd.in/dD7ei7XG cc: Alex Kubicek Neil B J Irwin Bryan Dow Build Collective #BuildBook #BUILD #BuildCollective #innovation #deeptech #insurtech
