Strategies to Help Entrepreneurs Succeed
From Idea To MVP
From Idea To MVP
Think of it like this: Your company has a niche concept for a product with a ton of potential for funding and investment opportunities. The problem, however, is that would-be funders simply don’t invest in ideas—they need something tangible to work with before blindly throwing money toward a concept that may never take off. This is where a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is vital.
Crafting Lean Startups
Crafting Lean Startups
Through the Lean Startup Model, entrepreneurs will better understand elements within their business like the market opportunity, value proposition and unfair advantage, revenue streams, key metrics, ideal customer, customer channels, and major expenses. All of these elements will accelerate businesses to reach their MVP.
