Self-Guided Learning Modules
The StartUp BreakDown is born out of my decades of experience in starting, growing, exiting and advising companies across industry and life-cycle. Click through on the below modules to access the self-guided plan.
Your Customer & The Problem
A critical step in building a business or commercializing technology is to identify a real problem that customers are experiencing.
The Solution
You must provide meaningful and impactful benefit to customers. There must be a significant “Goodness Factor.”
Market Opportunity
If the target market potential is too small or has unfavorable trends, there are virtually no prospects to scale your idea.
Business Model
We need to explore your business model, your commercial lever points. In other words, how will it make money?
Competition
Learn what makes for a thorough review of the competition. Validate the uniqueness and potential for your new concept.
Team
Building a complete team, with the right skills, is vital to your success. You need a great team to execute your idea.
Development Plan
“Ideas are a dime a dozen but people who put them into action are priceless.” Identify milestones and craft a compelling plan.
Exit Plan
Entrepreneurs and investors are in this game for the same reason, to generate a return sufficient to justify the effort and risk. Let’s talk exit plans.
