What is the first step to building
a business?
Identifying the problem you are going to solve!
Focus on the problem first,
not on the solution!

As long as consumers have problems, they
will always search for solutions.
Most of the people will always look for better, faster
and/or smarter ways to solve their
problems.

A deeper understanding:
(1) What problem are you trying to solve?(2) How many people have this problem? (3) Will they pay to solve it? How much?(4) If this problem is not solved, what are the
undesirable consequences? (5) How are they trying to solve this problem
today?(6) What would be the benefits of having this
problem immediately solved?

Four principles of an open space session:
● Whoever come are the right people.● Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.● Whenever it starts is the right time.● When it’s over, it’s over.
Law of two feet:
If at any time during our time together you find yourself in any situation where you are neither learning nor contributing, use your two feet, go someplace else.

actually want to use and pay
for.

BAD NEWS! Your business model is still just a set of untested hypotheses.
Because you haven´t asked customers!
The most valuable information can only be collected outside of the building.

How to test? Identify core assumptions
In the beginning the business model is based on assumptions.
It’s very important to identify core assumptions and to turn them into hypotheses that are testable.

The goal of the tests is to get your idea out there as quickly and as cheaply as possible, and test your assumptions.
That’s where the real learning starts to happen - your assumptions aren’t going to be 100% right, but most probably they won’t be 100% wrong either.

How to test (just some hints):
● Prototype – Build a demo device or offer a temporary service.● The Video – A basic video presentation describing features and even demonstrating an early prototype. ● The Wizard of Oz Test – In this test, the customer interacts with a “skin” of the product, but the functions (the heavy lifting from a development perspective) of the product are being performed by people.● Smoke Tests – An advertisement with no product attached to it. Customers can preorder a product that has not been built yet. This is a very useful way to test whether customers are interested in buying a product or not.

● Discuss and write down your most important hypotheses● Come up with ways to test those hypotheses● What are the pass / fail signals (e.g. at what point would you say that your hypotheses was / wasn´t correct)?
Major assumptions are usually related to:● Value proposition:
●Does customers really have a significant problem? ●Does our idea really solve it in a way that they would
pay us for?● Customer segment:
● Is there critical amount of potential customers available?

● Don’t stress about your presentation. Your demo or slide deck doesn’t matter as much as you think it does.● Have a good elevator pitch (=problem, solution, advantage). If you can’t communicate what you do in 10-20 seconds or less then you don´t understand it enough yet.● Start with your elevator pitch first and include credibility factors early in your pitch. ● Give also overview about your core assumptions and how you are going to test those.
Pitching & homework

Write it down and leave to organisers (with your contacts on it). Before next event: run your tests and arrive at a conclusions.
