19. Online clothes retailer specialized in
fashion and sports (e.g. Adidas, Fila, Vans,
Converse, DKNY and Fred Perry).
Raised $160 million (JP Morgan, Goldman
Sachs, Bernard Arnault, Benetton + six).
Developed an innovative site with 3D,
zoom, 360⁰ rotation and virtual
mannequins, powered by lots of JavaScript
and Flash Animations.
Rapidly grew to 420 people and spent
heavily on PR pre launch.
Delayed launch repeatedly due to
technological problems.
Finally launched in 18 countries
simultaneously 8:59 November 3 1999 EST.
20. 40 % of visitors could not access the site.
Mac users could not operate the site at all.
The site was very difficult to use and full of
errors, often causing computers to freeze.
Extremely slow to load without broadband.
Only one in four attempts to make a
purchase worked.
Low conversion rates (0.25%).
Conversion rates did double by Christmas.
30% returns, not 10% as projected.
A “low-bandwidth version” was relaunched
within months.
But low sales + high costs
“Eighty-one minutes
to pay too much money
for a pair of shoes that I
am still going to have to
wait a week to get?”
=> Bankruptcy.
24. Validate the problem
Validate that it is a BIG problem

Create a scalable solution
10 customers 100 customers
SCALE!

Please stand up
So we all look for this graph, smooth, perfect, exponential curve.
All startups have shown it, you probably will see it today as well.
It’s more or less generic. Insert company name, what you are measuring and then some kind of time scale.
However, the majority of startups have a totally different path to success. In retrospect, the curve will be smooth and exponential. But in real life (except the corner cases), this is what it will look like. Big successful companies like Rovio, AirBnB or even Apple struggled over and over again, and finally they found a value proposition that actually worked.
In our experience, the primary reason (not the only one) is that entrepreneurs are so focused on the vision and the product, that they forget so truly listen to the users or customers. Making desktop google market research, creating awesome and smart strategies or only listening to ”experts” tend to take away the focus from the core. How to deliver a true customer value. And of course, delivering a customer value that exceeds the expectations is the only reason to exist
