34 WHAT IS A STARTUP?

35 BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME? 7pm Get dumped 8pm Start coding 9pm Launch Midnight Go viral Magic Etc NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

36 A STARTUP IS NOT A SMALL VERSION OF A BIG COMPANY Steve Blank

37 A STARTUP IS A TEMPORARY STATE SEARCH EXECUTE Startups do this Companies do this NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

38 MUCH TO LEARN A startup is a company that is confused about: What its product is Who its customers are How to make money Dave McClure Startups NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

39 WATERFALL IS SEDUCTIVE Requirements Design Build Launch Maintain NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

40 WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS BIT IS WRONG? Requirements Design Build Launch Maintain NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

41 THE STARTUP LIFECYCLE Skip a stage, and the chances are you will fail. 1 Proof of Problem Problem Solution Fit 2 Proof of Market Product Market Fit 3 Proof of Scale Ready to scale NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

43 COLOR Case Study Raised $41M Serial exit entrepreneur at the helm. BUT Prematurely scaled. Failed to learn DEAD IN 1 YEAR NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

44 WHAT WE DO IN A LEAN STARTUP The true product of an entrepreneur is not the solution, but a working business model. The real job of an entrepreneur is to systematically de-risk that business model over time. Ash Maurya - Spark59 NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v XPERIMENT

45 EXPERIMENTS NOT LAUNCHES Product "The most important thing scientists do - first and foremost, scientists build models. They they run experiments to validate those models." Build Measure #startupscience from Ash Maurya Ideas Data Learn NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

50 THE STARTUP LIFECYCLE 1 Proof of Problem Problem Solution Fit 2 Proof of Market Product Market Fit 3 Proof of Scale Ready to scale Skip a stage, and the chances are you will fail. 50

51 The most common cause of failure is self destruction through premature scaling

52 MODEL NOT VALIDATED No startup that scaled prematurely sustained growth rates to reach 100K users. 52

53 MODEL NOT VALIDATED Few startups that grow prematurely reach $100K monthly revenue. 53

54 MODEL VALIDATED Startups that grow consistently, grow 20x faster and get higher valuations. 54

55 INCREASE CHANCE OF FAILURE Action Problem Resistance to change after the initial plan Urge startups to grow quickly Too good at execution. Jump to that Focus on revenue Startups that pivot once or twice are less likely to fail and have 3.6x user growth Premature scaling Avoids search and all startup phases Not doing customer development. Not focusing on value 55

56 TRADITIONAL PROGRAM Most large organisations attempt the leap from idea to scale in one step. We call this premature scaling and we know that most startups attempting it will fail. NEW GROWTH WITH STARTUP SCIENCE v

57 SUCCESS CORE Central to our approach is identifying where each venture sits on the SUCCESS CORE lifecycle and running a process which maximises the unique context of that phase. Decreasing risk Increasing investment 57

58 Proof of Problem Proof of Market Proof of Scale B B B Idea Scale L M L M L M We have proven that people have a problem we can solve with a product that attracts and retains we have maximised scalability now are ready... 58

59 STAGE 1 / IDEA Team Anyone from any team can decide to run an idea stage project. 1 or 2 people Purpose To develop a prioritised war chest of ideas to move into Stage 2. Funding Up to $1,000 can be claimed in expenses. Activity Develop the first hypothesis and get some customer validation. Product Lean canvas + lessons learned from customer tests. Customer Must involve at least 1 customer. Example Exit Criteria Lean canvas completed. Some LIGHT evidence that Problem, Customer, Solution OR Unique Value Proposition assumptions on lean canvas are valid through things like: Positive click through from teaser ad campaign LOI from customer Landing page conversion from interested customers Time Next 2 weeks. Can be part-time. Share at quarterly Dragon s Den sessions and submit to Innovation Council. Assessed for priority queue into next stage. These are principles and not rules. 59

60 STAGE 2 / PROOF OF PROBLEM Team Purpose Funding About $200K Activity Customer Development Team - 2 or 3 people full-time and autonomous. To validate that customers find specific value in a solution. Detailed customer interviews. Experiments that show the customer taking action. Prototype building. Product Simple minimum viable product. No technology choices to take longer than 1 day to get started with. No dependencies. Customer As close as possible to real customer context. Customer likely knows they are in a trial. May only be one customer. Example Exit Criteria Evidence that Problem, Customer, Solution AND Unique Value Proposition assumptions on lean canvas are valid through things like: Successful tender from customer study Pilot customer using a manual version of the experience with metrics showing problem solved. At least crudely. Prototype testing leading to customer signing license deal. Time Next About 3 Months Exit > Stage 3 / Proof of Market What is the riskiest hypothesis and can you prove OK? What would you need to see to invest your own money? These are principles and not rules. 60

61 STAGE 3 / PROOF OF MARKET Team Customer Development Team - About 5 people full-time and autonomous + other resources as needed to scale the parts of the business that are becoming known Purpose Funding Up to $3M Activity Product Strengthen value proposition to be more sticky and work in other use-cases. Search for channels, revenue models. Proven business model by exit. Building higher resolution product, testing model with more customer segments. Search for repeatable and scalable sales and marketing mechanics. Full, high resolution product. Still may have manual processes but the customer should not notice. Customer B2B - Clear path to $100K monthly revenue. Consumer - Clear path to 100,000 users Example Exit Criteria Evidence that ALL parts of lean canvas are valid through things like: Path to $100K MRR for B2B solutions Path to 100K users for consumer solutions Proven, repeatable acquisition channels. Known cause and effect for growth, These are principles and not rules. Time Next About 12 Months Exit > Stage 4 / Proof of Scale 61
