What did I want to do this last week?
Conducted customer interviews, read "Business Model Generation" and figure out business model
What did I learn?
Learn to use the resources nearby. I conducted face to face interviews with CEOs of two big data startups I'm currently working for. One is called Tesloop which provides city to city travel in Teslas, another is called CognitiveLeap which aims to improve brain health worldwide. They both have to deal with lots of data everyday but are also lack of funding to hire security engineers. In this case, our product would be their first choice - agile and cheap.
Issues?
I also reached to technical directors/senior security engineers in big data and analytics companies on LinkedIn, but didn't hear back yet. I'll keep tracking of these potential customers.
What am I planning to do this coming week?
1.Keep track of potential customers on LinkedIn
2.Think more about channels, key activities, key partnerships
3. Sketch the mockup using Balsamiq
Hi Julie, I'm glad that you read up on Business Model Generation. Do you feel comfortable doing interviews? Are you getting enough information to move your plan forward. What hypotheses did you test? Which did you debunk?
