Steve – Thanks for the great news. I’ll be listening and passing the word along to my network. Let us know how else we can assist. Ash Maurya, author of Running Lean, would make a great guest discussing tactics and experimental procedures for Customer Validation.
congrats
Will you send a follow up email on instructions on listening to a recording of the shows? Thank you for all you do!
Steve,
Hi!
I am Rudy Andrade a student from the Sept. 2013 Lean LaunchPad Educators Program at Columbia. I am from Mexico we had a brief lunch at that time.
From that time up to now we have been a very active Launchpad evangelist, through our MBA class at CETYS University http://www.cetys.mx ( used to be Business plan development and has changed to Business Model development and Validation) as well as private consulting throughout Mexico. (www.apconsultores.mx)
We have learned from our envirorment and adapted the launchpad to it , we have introduced elements that are critical to the methodology and validation process in our country without changing the essence of the launchpad. This elements may very well apply to other countries with similar economies and cultural backgrounds as Mexico.
A very brief summary of the adaptations:
a. foundations of the start-Up ( pre start-up stage) One of the reasons that we fail in partnerships is that we do not talk or set the bases of our interests in the new venture. We are an indirect culture and do not talk directly or say NO when we need to. We have included a set of practical steps to do this and filter out any doubts , this has been a culture shock exercise but very effective.
b. We have added 2 important elements to be validated in the Customer discovery process.
1. Competition formal AND Informal! 60% of our economy is based on informal businesses. If you aim at a a certain sector that is vulnerable to this, you better validate ! We also need to take into account corruption and lack of regulation enforcement. If your start-up is entering a sector in which there are players that are set by friendships or corrupt partnerships with government you have to also validate it. ( this is our real world not just books!)
2. Initial Financing : The other main reason Start-ups fail is the lack of Venture funding ,the time it takes to obtain and the cost of the funds. VC funding or risk funding is in its very infant stages in our country and money is expensive and very hard to obtain via banks it takes time to obtain this generates extra risk, most of the start-ups do not validate this items and die in the chasm or before! We have clearly seen that this validation is crucial to the start-up.
I would like to share this in your Radio Program or Blog.
Look forward in talking to you again soon!
Rudy
