Block 4 Overview
•       Here’s What We Thought:
          – That we would launch a business to match above-the-line and below-the-line talent in the
             film vertical, despite a small market size, based on passion and a desire to execute on a
             validated pain point
•       Here’s What We Did:
          – Got introspective and honest about why we were rejecting ideas
          – Re-assessed other creative verticals and conducted 30 interviews
          – Put out a new survey to further validate other verticals and to address willingness to pay (42
             responses to date)
          – Built an MVP with multiple iterations on functionality, copy and video
          – Invited EarlyVangelists to offer feedback on the MVP (50 sign-ups to date)
          – Designed a process for cataloging and processing feedback and for updating our MVP
•       Here’s What We Learned:
          – Other creative verticals have a need for a service like 88Mirrors
          – Addressing other creative verticals will necessarily make the functionality of the site more
             complex
          – Willingness to pay could be an issue; need a fully functioning MVP to truly test (have now)
          – Design and search functionality are critical to our target
    •    Here’s What We Are Now:
           – “Facebook for Creatives”: a social network that helps Creatives connect, create and
              collaborate
    •    Here’s What We’re Doing:
           – Refining MVP based on initial feedback
           – Launching Facebook/AdWords campaign to drive more traffic to MVP
           – Soliciting additional rounds of MVP feedback from customers
           – Asking for money

  • 3. Block 4 Overview • Here’s What We Thought: – That we would launch a business to match above-the-line and below-the-line talent in the film vertical, despite a small market size, based on passion and a desire to execute on a validated pain point • Here’s What We Did: – Got introspective and honest about why we were rejecting ideas – Re-assessed other creative verticals and conducted 30 interviews – Put out a new survey to further validate other verticals and to address willingness to pay (42 responses to date) – Built an MVP with multiple iterations on functionality, copy and video – Invited EarlyVangelists to offer feedback on the MVP (50 sign-ups to date) – Designed a process for cataloging and processing feedback and for updating our MVP • Here’s What We Learned: – Other creative verticals have a need for a service like 88Mirrors – Addressing other creative verticals will necessarily make the functionality of the site more complex – Willingness to pay could be an issue; need a fully functioning MVP to truly test (have now) – Design and search functionality are critical to our target • Here’s What We Are Now: – “Facebook for Creatives”: a social network that helps Creatives connect, create and collaborate • Here’s What We’re Doing: – Refining MVP based on initial feedback – Launching Facebook/AdWords campaign to drive more traffic to MVP – Soliciting additional rounds of MVP feedback from customers – Asking for money
