Focus on Customers from Day One
1.
“Startups Fail from
a Lack of Customers not Product Development Failure” Steven Blank 2008 Start-ups have to have a process to develop customers in parallel with product development processes. Focus on Customers and Markets from Day One! Mind2Net, Inc. © 2011 all rights reserved
2.
The new start-up
funding reality is you have to show TRACTION TRACTION = SALES Revenue = INVESTOR interest = get the MONEY Everybody has a product/service idea but most entrepreneurs focus on developing the product/service thinking “if we build it they will come” – NOT! Focus on Customers and Markets from Day One! Mind2Net, Inc. © 2011 all rights reserved

What Early Stage
Investors Are Asking? • Are you going to: – Blow my initial investment? – Or are you going to make me a ton of money? • Are there customers? – How many? Now? Later? • Is there a profitable business model? – Can it scale? Mind2Net, Inc. © 2011 all rights reserved

Step 2 Focus on
Customers and Markets from Day One! Is there an articulated customer need? How do you know? How big a market and when? Are others trying to solve it? If so, why you? Does it solve an existing customer problem? Do you have a sales roadmap? Org chart? Influence map? Do you understand the sales cycle? ASP, LTV, ROI, etc. Do you have a set of orders ($’s) validating the roadmap? Does the financial model make sense? Mind2Net, Inc. © 2011 all rights reserved
