Raw Startup
Stage 1 in a
company's development is a process of turning your business idea into a
real executable business plan. At this early stage you, as a
founder, should focus on market research and gathering data that will
allow you to steer your enterprise into a market niche with the lowest
hanging fruit, where resistance to market entry are lowest and sales can
be achieved most easily. You need to set a course for targeting a
narrowly defined customer profile that shares a common point of pain
that your company can address. You then need to convince potential
customers to take the extra risk of dealing with a startup company.
Because of the
generally low burn rate at this stage, you want to take your time and
learn as much as possible about your market, your potential customers,
your entry strategy and YOURSELF. Rather than reinventing the
wheel you will want to learn from others who have done it before, as YOU
will quickly need to master, among other things, the four major business
disciplines of Sales, Marketing, Operations and Finance. In reality you
will need more expertise than you can acquire quickly. Using a virtual
team is a partial solution. But having a well thought out business
design process will really lower your risk of failure and reduce the
time and capital you need to get to a cash flow positive situation.
You should explore many different business models, knowing that starting
one business model to finance getting to another, can at times preserve
your ownership by reducing capital needs.
In this critical
stage of development where you are building the foundation for the
future of your business, we have designed a complete module to help you
successfully get to the next stage of your company's development.
