Notas do Editor
Story - 2 salesmen sent to tribal areas of Africa - market opportunity \nIt’s about opportunity recognition, possibilities, attitudes\nIntro - Self - TSE - Different projects - Founder Boost - Startup Farm - Summer of Startups Accelerator program\n
\n
\n
///*Old industries are going - Nothing new in the horizon\n///* Getting a stabile job... yeah right.\n///*We need lot’s of new growth companies\n///\n///*What that means for students today?\n
Worst case: The idea fails\n-lost time and maybe little money - learned a lot, had awesome experiences!\nBest case:-You create company that truly has an effect into peoples lifes, journey like no other, financial upside.\n\n
Do not start alone\nDo not start with people with same skillsets and background\nSupplementary skillsets, multidisciplinary, Importance of advisors and supporters\n
Not a straight path but iterative process where you try lot’s of things and fail many times before you find the right way. Traction, \n
\n
What do you do first ? \n* Due dilligence\n*Google, Techcrunch, Venturebeat, Engadget, Gizmodo, \n* So you have the most brilliant and noveau idea. Then?\n* You go into the bat cave and write a business plan for 6 months, right?\n* Usually What happens? FAIL!\n
The TADA-Moment when you come out with the ready product and no customer feedback.\n”No business plan survives the first contact with the customer” - Steve Blank\n--> www.steveblank.com Check the link out!!! \n\n
Why does this happen?\n*Assumptions\n*Money spent to make the product\n*No learning inside the building\n
\n
\n
NOT TRUE - Investors don’t read the business plans \n- Business plans are full of assumptions\n- Investors invest mostly in teams, not in ideas\n- ”I have written more business plans than I have read” \n
5 minutes - discuss about what is an business model and what is included?\nWikiwiki..”A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value[1] (economic, social, or other forms of value).”\n
\n
\n
Communicate - different people, different backgrounds, vocabulary, meanings, Using canvas to EASILY ARTICULATE the business model - \nBig picture - You can see the whole model, relations between different areas. - temptation to focus on one and leave the rest be - don’t do that.\nCreativity - Common language --> able to participate in testing options, invent new models\n
\n
\n
Customer facing side and the ”backside”.\nUsually focus on customer side. Could you innovate on the other?\n
\n
Backbone of any model - What is the value and who realizes it.\nOffer to the consumer - how and why it address customers need and their ”job to-be done”\nGET AWAY FROM COMPLEXITY!\n
Distribution\nMarketing channel - interesting, most interesting and hardest.\n
/// Demand creation - Seeking if there is interest - Launch page\n
What teams, skills do you need, what do you need to own\nCapabilities you need to have to deliver the value\n
\n
\n
Who do you need to partner with, what networks you need to tap into to scale your business - \nfor example Zynga building on Facebook.\n\n
What are the costs \nWhat are the big costs - Opportunity for creativity - You should think how you could...\n
\n
Yes - there is competition - If not, ask why?\nOption 1 - You really have something so unique that... NOT LIKELY.\nOption 2 - There is no market opportunity big enough - Iterate!\nCompetition is good - Only validates your business sector.\n\n
\n
How long does it take to write a 30 page business plan?\nHow long does it take to sketch a business model canvas?\nSketch - test your assumptions - do it again - test - repeat!\n
\n
\n
