Phases

Introduction

Intro

Research Plan

Phase I

We’re going to take a hard look at the market we’re about to enter to determine if the problem we’re setting out to solve is worth solving while homing in on any other solutions that may already exist.

Expert Validation

Phase II

We’ll seek advice from subject matter experts, founders, and investors to identify which pitfalls to avoid and gain further insight into the probability of success for our startup concept.

Customer Discovery

Phase III

By directly surveying our customers, we’ll gain a better understanding of how our solution fits into our market and learn if what we think our customers want gels with what they actually want.

Elevator Pitch

Phase IV

From pitching investors, to securing partnerships, the Elevator Pitch is one of the most important tools in a Founder’s tool belt. We’re going to break down how to perfect this deceptively difficult summary.
