WE DO
…………………………………………………………………………
At Successify we are creating a global community of young
idea makers by offering them an integrated flow to develop
their abilities to execute on their ideas and improve their
chances of launching successful startup projects.
Set up as a pre-startup environment for young idea
makers, Successify designs discovery processes and engages
in learning experiences for young creative people, which allows
them to clarify their motivation on becoming entrepreneurs.
Successify plans to become an educational framework for
young creative people globally and empower them to put more
of their ideas into practice better. Such a framework should
function as a pre-startup space for tomorrow’s
entrepreneurs.
We are targeting young idea makers (17 – 25 years old)
interested in translating their creativity into real life solutions
and products by setting up entrepreneurial ventures.

WHY CARE
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
PROBLEM
It’s an education issue:
Our schools are not set to create entrepreneurs.
Our schools are not set to build business creators.
Our schools are structured to create employees.
Our schools don’t necessarily empower creativity and innovation in their students.
Our schools don’t create an environment for implementing young people’s creativity.
There is a gap:
The education environment is rapidly changing [see for instance the new models Coursera or
Udemy or General Assembly bring into the market], but there still is a huge gap between
what we are taught by school, our creative ideas and the execution of those ideas.
The schools are struggling to cover that gap, while the new business institutions like
accelerators, incubators, and early stage investors are also approaching the things from the
wrong end.
A new model is needed:
What’s needed is a new model that would put together guidance, knowledge, and tools in a
tightly integrated infrastructure for young creative people who want to implement their
creativity.

SOLUTION
We want to be an important part in covering the gap between ideas and the capacity to implement
them, at the beginning by creating an integrating environment that will link the motivation,
knowledge and tools for executing on our ideas.
The solution will consist of an infrastructure for making idea creators speed up and improve their
idea implementation abilities, by following a simple 3 steps path:
ü clarifying the motivation
ü acquiring the basic knowledge
ü finding and using the suitable tools.
The mission successify has assumed is to cover the gap between the personal creativity of these
young people and their abilities to execute on their ideas.
Step 1: an online platform that matches idea makers and local and international mentors
Step 2: + an idea implementation management platform
Step 3: + a hub for connecting external providers of knowledge & tools
successify is set up as a pre-startup environment for young idea makers, where these
people will go through a series of interactive learning experiences and practical, real-life
doing exercises that would allow them to clarify their motivation for becoming
entrepreneurs and then acquire the fundamental knowledge set and experiment with
the most suitable tools available now for executing on their ideas.

DEVELOPMENT STAGE

We are set up as a start-up and we are following the Customer Development methodology and
assume a lean development approach for building this project.
Based on the problem validation progress so far, we started to build our MVP – our first
mentorship pilot program available on our website www.successify.me
We follow Customer Discovery phase for the first solution, and then proceed to validating the
solution desirability for the core market.

“Your project sounds great! Congratulations for everything you have done so far. It’s inspiring
to see projects like this, especially when headed by women themselves. I wish you all the very
best for your future endeavors. I hope I will get to learn a lot from you.”
Ivn Savitha, India | Pharmaceutics
“… your idea is great and I am also really interested in helping young entrepreneurs as well as
myself develop their ideas and make a business out of it. I really believe that creativity plays a
indispensable role into finalizing and launching one's ideas and monetizing it. […] If there's a
formal way to be part of your project, I'd be very pleased to do so.”
Ibrahima B. Gabriel Mall, US | Marketing & Communications
“I saw your idea on successify and immediately fell in love with it. The reason I liked it so
much is that I feel that maybe I too can learn from you guys, I was impressed with the video
on Youtube, I wish I could learn how to do that. My project will be setting up a digital signage
network here in Mbabane.”
Sifiso Mathabela, Swaziland | Telecommunication
“I LOVED your project, I'm really passionate about this idea, I filled your survey and checked
your Facebook page, at some point I felt your project intersects with mine in some parts, I
have strong believe that everybody is creative, and my goal is to enhance others creativity, and
before doing that I wanted to enhance mine first and that's by reading many books about
creativity and participating in this course, I'm just wondering if I'm on the right track?”
