User Flows EP8. Building UX Products with Impact! Interview with 4-time Entrepreneur Steven Cohn
Steven Cohn is a father, husband, and serial entrepreneur and he tries hard to be great in all those areas. I can relate to that as I'm the father of two as well and husband to my wonderful wife of 10 years. I do hope to be an entrepreneur again in the future. Which is why I'm talking to Steven today. He has a marvelous track record of starting and selling fantastic digital companies.
For those of you in the UX space, many will know his venture, Validately which made it easy and affordable to conduct lean customer research on new digital products. Validately has since been acquired by UserZoom. Prior to launching Validately, Steven sold his first two startups to LivingSocial and TripAdvisor. He has also worked at DoubleClick, Quantcast, and IBM. He is a graduate of George Washington University and Harvard Business School.
I'm convinced that every designer dreams of starting their own product one day. I will not be shy about saying that I have this dream. So one of the great things about starting a podcast is that you get to talk to really cool people who do the things you want to do. So I'm really excited to talk to Steven today as he's 3 for 3 in creating useful, successful, and profitable products.
Steven is going for his fourth startup success with his latest and greatest company, ImpactProduct. ImpactProduct helps designers and product people alike make data-informed design decisions. Uncover usability issues faster. All without developer support. The entire tool is offered as a chrome extension. I installed it on my personal site. It took all of seconds to install and seems super easy to use thus far.
