Startup vs CorporationSo what’s the difference?
vidarandersen.com
A Startup is NOT a smaller version of a large Company!
vidarandersen.com
So What’s a Startup?A Definition
vidarandersen.com
vidarandersen.com
“A STARTUP is a TEMPORARY organizatio in SEARCH of a SCALABLE
and REPEATABLE business model”
Everybody, Repeat After Me:
vidarandersen.com
“If you can take your business plan to a bank and not get laughed at
and thrown out,you’re NOT a STARTUP”
vidarandersen.com
Why is this Important?Discussion

Startup vs CompanySEARCH for business model VS EXECUTING business model
NOT a smaller version of a large company
Business Model Generation vs Business Plans & Forecasts
Customer Development vs Product Development
Agile Build-Measure-Learn vs Waterfall Model
Organizational structures and roles are different

Why Do Most Startups #FAIL?
The Most Common Reasons
vidarandersen.com
Why do Startups #FAIL?
Co-Founders fight
Cannot build initial spec
No one will fund the idea
Too few people buy or use the product or service
Premature scaling (scaling organization before product-market or problem-solution fit is properly validated)

Business Model Generation Instead of Business Plans

“No Business Plan Ever Survives First
Contact With a Customer!”

Business Model Generationvs Business Plans
No business plans survive first contact with customers
Business Plans are static faith-based monoliths
Business Model Generation is a dynamic and iterative process to discover a fact-based repeatable and scalable business model
The BMC is a COMMUNICATION TOOL to help you think, talk and share about your business model

Market Size & CompetitionAre Both Missing from the Business Model Canvas - Do
vidarandersen.com
Market Size• Total Available Market (TAM)
Theoretical total market size orcustomer mass with problem
• Serviceable Available Market (SAM)Theoretical total market size orcustomer mass that can use yoursolution
• Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)Your target market cap or customerbase for the next 2-3 years

CompetitionThere is no such thing as “I have no competitors”
- Anything or anyone standing in between the money and you is a competitor
vidarandersen.com
Customer DevelopmentYou ain’t a Lean Startup if you ain’t doing this
vidarandersen.com
The discovery process of validating the product-market fit by conducting customer interviews
Requires you to get out of the building and find the facts, because inside there’s only faith and opinions
Customer Development
vidarandersen.com
CustDev SummaryA) Customer Discovery – Test the Problem
1. Define your hypothesis: map out your guesses about your business model using a Business Model Canvas as your communication and tracking tool
2. Test the problem you think you are solving by getting out of the building and talking to and listening to potential customers, partners and resources – real people
B) Customer Validation – Test the Solution
1. Test the solution you think solves the problem to a known set of customers by building a minimum viable product (MVP) containing just the minimum features needed to allow you to start learning, to start an iterative build-measure-learn cycle
2. Iterate or pivot your business model repeating the steps until you have validated it
Once you’ve validated your business model, you move on to the “execute” component which is also divided into two sub-parts, Customer Creation and Company Building, which consist of creating user demand and building the organization to scale.

Customer InterviewsThe Do’s and Don’ts of Customer Interviews
vidarandersen.com
Customer Discovery Interview Dos & Don’ts
NO SELLING ALLOWED - EVER! Listen, listen, listen.
FREQUENCY - You need to do at least 15-20 customer interviews a week, 50-150 in total to notice meaningful patterns
NO friends, colleagues or family - only real potential customers
You MUST define pass/fail tests IN ADVANCE, results cannot just be anecdotes and after-the-fact feel-good fakery
Your GOAL is: Test for the problem, not for the details

action/behavior)___.We will know we have succeeded when

The Lean ProcessThe Lean Startup by Eric Ries

Key Lean ConceptsInnovation Accounting:
Build a Minimal Viable Product, the minimal thing you need to have to get real data, start validating learning and to start the build-measure-learn cycle
Using metrics, measure the right and important things, not randomness. How do we know that the changes we’ve made are related to the results we’re seeing?
Move the product from the baseline to the ideal, set a path to a sustainable product to reach a decision point
Pivot or persevere? Continue doing the same or trying something else.
vidarandersen.com
The PivotA PIVOT is when you fundamentally change one or more element(s) in your Business Model Canvas
It is NOT a minor change or iteration of existing element(s)
