Our Top Resources for Starting up

The first thing to remember is that the best way to reduce your time, money and resources is to focus on validation.

Validation can be seen as three parts of a Venn diagram; where all three parts overlap is the “sweet spot” that indicates the best chance of a successful business. The three parts of the Venn diagram are Desirability, Viability, and Feasibility.

Desirability means that your potential customers and users want what you are creating. The process of validating desirability includes understanding who your customers are and taking into consideration alternative solutions, and willingness to pay.

Viability means that your venture has a sound financial model. The process of validating viability means understanding all the costs associated with the business model, and how it can eventually generate income to support it long-term.

Feasibility means that you can make and do what you intend to. The process of validating feasibility may involve relevant consent, the ability to find a space and more.
