Building a Business is NOT Linear

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Over the last 10 years we’ve seen more research about startups, especially with lean startups and Steven Blank [please advise to look at his blog]. what we have learned is that building a startup is not linear. An idea is a hypothesis and it needs to be verified in the process. Everything needs to be verified: product-market fit, price, distribution, promotions, revenue and cost models. Everything.

Shikhar Ghosh, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School (2012):-More than 95% of start-ups fail- 2000 companies that received venture funding, 2004-2010- 10 start-ups:

- 3 to 4 completely fail-3 to 4 return original investment-1 to 2 produce substantial returns

M. Jackson is an inventor

Presenter

Presentation Notes

By filing a patent application for the “Method and Means for Creating Anti-Gravity Illusion,” Michael Jackson let the cat out of the bag. The heel of the shoe is designed to detachably engage a hitch that retractably projects through the stage floor. By anchoring the heel to the floor, the dancer can lean forward and the illusion of defying gravity is achieved. His untimely death has subjected Michael Jackson’s personal choices to debate, but his dedication to creating and protecting his art is unquestionable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrOzBDdKGY4

3-D Process of Making Innovation

Innovation

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Information and data is coming at the startup founder so quickly that they cannot digest it all. They often don’t know what to focus on or how to start. They have lots of ideas, lots of things they want to do. The business model helps them and you focus on what is important and helps to put things into steps.
