Business Model CanvasA business model is nothing else than a representation of how an organization makes (or intends to make) money. This can be nicely described through the 9 building blocks illustrated in the graphic below, which we call "business model canvas”.

Market Size and Competition are missing!Business Model Canvas

Market Size Competition

Total Available Market (TAM)▪Theoretical total market size or
customer mass with problem Serviceable Available Market (SAM)▪Theoretical total market size or
customer mass that can use your solution
Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)▪Your target market cap or
customer base for the next 2-3 years
Market Size

▪There is no such thing as “I have no competitors”
▪Anything or anyone standing in between the money and you is a competitor
Competition

Introduction to Startups │ Puja Abbassi │
▪Customers want to "hire" a product to do a job▪ "People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a
quarter-inch hole!“ - Theodore Levitt (HBS)▪The job, not the customer, is the fundamental unit of
analysis
▪Framework for practice:1. What are the high-level jobs-to-be-done?2. What are the current approaches and what pain
points result?3. What benchmarks exist in the full range of competing
offerings and analogies?4. What performance criteria do customers use?5. What prevents new solutions from being adopted?6. What value would success create for customers?

▪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
24.06.14 28
Introduction to Startups │ Puja Abbassi │
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
Test the ProblemCustomery Discovery
24.06.14 29
Introduction to Startups │ Puja Abbassi │
▪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
Customer Discovery Interview Dos & Don’ts
24.06.14 30
Introduction to Startups │ Puja Abbassi │
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
Test the SolutionCustomer Validation
24.06.14 31
Introduction to Startups │ Puja Abbassi │
Innovation 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.
Key ConceptsThe Lean Startup – Eric Ries

▪A 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)
