You’ve got an idea. Now what?
Product Ideation & Customer Development



Hiten Shah
Startup Roots - Pier 38, San Francisco, CA • June 30, 2010
The Startup Pyramid
        The Race to the Top




             Growth



       Transition to Growth



       Product / Market Fit




 Sean Ellis: Startup-Marketing.com
Product / Market Fit

•   Low burn, focused on product, no VPs / sales people
•   Customer Development (Steve Blank, Four Steps)
•   Minimum Viable Product (Eric Ries, The Lean Startup)

•   Pivots (Eric Ries, The Lean Startup)

“…the life of any startup can be divided into two parts –
 before product/market fit and after product/market fit.”
    Marc Andreesen, Founder of Netscape
Customer Development

•   It’s all about learning and discovery
•   Outlined by Steve Blank in Four Steps to the Epiphany



        Customer    STOP
                                   Customer     STOP
                                                       Customer   STOP
                                                                           Scale   STOP

        Discovery                  Validation          Creation          Company




                           Pivot
Minimum Viable Product

•    Coined by Eric Ries as part of The Lean Startup
•    Lean Startups are a series of MVP’s
•    Each designed to answer a specific question (hypothesis)


    “ The minimum viable product (MVP) is often an ad on
      Google. Or a PowerPoint slide. Or a dialog box. Or a landing
      page. You can often build it in a day or a week.”
     Nivi, Venture Hacks
“ If Apple can launch a smartphone without Find or Cut-and-
  Paste, what can you cut out of your product requirements?”
 Lance Glasser, former CTO KLA-Tencor
“ The first version of Gmail was literally written in a day”
 Paul Buchheit, Google / Friendfeed / Facebook
Product Ideation and Customer Development
My hypothesis is that twitter power users have
   a problem tweeting interesting things.
