Origins
2020 Q4
🧠GEUT team went together and started thinking and designing the basic set of features around this new platform idea.
- Discussing ideas and sketching early interfaces. Thinking about basic interactions using mockups.
- Evaluating the audio live streaming landscape.
- Start mentioning the idea to closer colleagues and friends. Evaluating early feedback.
- Defining our target user.
- MVP kickoff.
Core
2021 Q1 - Q4
💪 At this stage we focused on learning more about the problem and our proposed solution. This helped us define our basic building blocks. Iteration from MVP to alpha release and Beta.
- User interviews with journalists and audio content creators. Validating early hypothesis.
- MVP development
- MVP evaluation with real events.
- SDK core rewrite started. MVP evolved into
alpha
release. - Alpha testing, demo sessions. This was the evolution of early user interviews. We started "selling" more the idea while, at the same time, validating basic features.
- Pioneer Tournament. In the middle of Q3 we started participating in the tournament. This helped us review our communication and provide general feedback.
- Alpha release validation with LIVE events.
