Guess the startup!
Hint #1
 “All the best things that I did at <my

startup> came from (a) not having

I'd never once done that thing in my
life.”

and vision has been described as a
"reality distortion field“.

“Begin with the end in mind”
–Stephen Covey
Why do startups fail?
“… failing to involve customers and

their feedback from literally the first
day of a startup’s life …”
-Steve Blank, technopreneur and author of

“The Startup Owners Manual”
“get out of the building” and talk to
the only folks who matter—your
customers.

“We make what we can sell”
  Identify a contact in an industry related to your field of study

¡  Someone you can contact easily and frequently. You can ask your professors or older/
alumni orgmates for referrals.
  Problem
  What’s the hardest part about <problem>?
  Can you tell us about the last time it happened? How often does it
happen?
  Why was that hard?
  What, if anything, have you done to solve the problem?
  What don’t you love about the solutions you’ve tried?
  Post your entry online in the KnowWho database
  Do customer interview, post results in KnowWho database
Sample KnowWho entry
  Contact: xxx, Pollution Control Officer, xxx Construction

Corporation
¡  technical buyer, end user
  Problem: Large volume of expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste
generated in precast plant
  How often: xx tons generated every month
  Current solution: Polystyrene waste is delivered to a cement
plant to be used as refuse-derived fuel
  Issues with current solution: Instead of utilizing the
polystyrene waste as refuse-derived fuel, it may be used for
higher-valued purposes
  Possible solution: Mixing recycled ground polystyrene with
cement to produce expanded polystyrene concrete, which can
be used for thermal insulation or structural concrete

“We sell what we can make”
  Talk to one or more professors in your lab/department. Pick one of

their recent or ongoing R&D projects. (If your department doesn’t do
tech R&D, ask your friends, classmates, or me to refer you.) Preferably
aligned with a validated customer problem in the KnowWho board
  Who is the (assumed) customer/user?
  What is the (assumed) value proposition?
  Technology Readiness Level (TRL 3 to TRL 7 only)
  Possible industry partner (buyer or distributor)
¡  Prefably from personal network or KnowWho board
¡  If none of the above, identify possible philippine companies via online search
  Post your entry online in the KnowHow database
Sample KnowHow entry
  Possible customer: PCB Industries, Semicon

Industries
  Value proposition: A reactor that treats the
wastewater containing copper and nickel without
sludge. Also recovers high purity of new copper and
nickel compounds
  TRL: 4
  Possible industry partner: Daeduck Phils
Activity: Customer story
  Enumerate the diff’t users/customers of your
system
  Describe the day in the life of each user/customer

Customer ROI
  Return of investment for the customer

  How will your product increase your customer’s revenues?
¡  Examples
¡  Fertilizers increase the yield of a farm
÷  Quantitative: If yield is currently P100K/hectare, a 10% yield increase results in
P10K/hectare revenue increase
¡  Online classified ads bring customers to a seller
÷  Quantitative: If ads bring 2000 new customers per month with average purchase of
P800/customer, then revenue increase is P1.6M/month
  How will your product decrease your customer’s costs?
¡  Examples
¡  Instrumentation for preventive maintenance reduce losses due to unscheduled
equipment downtime
÷  Quantitative: If each unscheduled downtime costs the company P80K and there are
7 unscheduled downtime per year on average that can be eliminated with the
system, then the annual cost savings is P560K
¡  Analytics for tracking and improving HR performance reduce losses due to staff
turnover and reduce expenses for training new staff
÷  Quantitative: If each staff turnover costs the company P100K in hiring and training
expenses as well as reduced productivity, and the system can reduce the turnover
from 12 to 4 per year, then the customer can save P800K per year
