Mentors

• Mentors are people with real-world experience• Mentors role is to:

– Help you “Get you out of the building”– Share contacts– Offer “Real-world” entrepreneurial advice– Critical feedback

• You arrange your schedule for the mentors, not the other way around

Course Objective: Idea to a Business

• What does it take to go from idea to a business?– Business Model + Customer Development– Hypotheses testing of the business model(s) – Get “out of the building”

Course Objective: Simulate A Startup?

• Create the pressures, uncertainty, and challenges of a real startup– Our expectations are unreasonable, they require

extraordinary effort– We expect failures, iterations and Pivots– Class is a “lab” - books/lectures are tools, not answers– Fail fast, learn quick, push you outside your comfort zone

Teaching team philosophy

• This class is taught using the “Startup Culture”– We’re tough, direct, fair - you need to be the same– Startup culture has no hierarchy - in this class you are an

entrepreneur - not a PI, lab mgr or center director– We’re your biggest supporters – we want you to succeed

• Question us, challenge us, push us as hard as we push you

• We don’t pretend to be domain experts, we know you are smarter than we are

Getting Out of The Building

• This class is not about our lectures• The class is not about your attendance• The class is about the work you do outside the

building• It’s the difference between a vision and a

hallucination

Our Expectations of You

• This is a full-contact, immersive class– All of you will be full participants – here and remotely– You will spend lots of time outside of your university– You all will do all the work assigned (and it is a lot

more than you probably realize)– No “dine and dash”

• If you think you are not learning, or you all cannot commit the time, see your NSF program manager

Team Deliverables

• Each Week– Lessons Learned presentation 5 minutes– Updated Lean LaunchLab blog– Hours of “outside the building” learning

• December Presentation– 20 minute Lessons Learned Summary

What Will you Learn?

• Opportunity evaluation• Search for a Business Model• Customer Discovery and Validation• Operating and decision making in chaos with

insufficient data• Ruthless pursuit of an objective by a team

The Course ‘By the Numbers’

• 4 Instructors, 1 TA, 15+ Mentors, • 8 Lectures• 8 10-minute presentations per class• 1 Final 20 minute presentation• 2 Textbooks

10-15 hours of work a week outside the classroom

This Class is Hard

• You can’t pass by attending the lectures• Your grade is determined by the work you do

outside the class• There’s a lot of it• You are dependent on group success –

communication is critical• You don’t need to be friends you need to be

partners

Class Logistics

Course Reading

• Business Model Generation• Four Steps to the Epiphany

• www.steveblank.com

Class Schedule

Eight (3 hour) Class Sessions: • 1: Sept 1st - Introduction, Business Models, Customer Development• 2: Sept 2nd – Value Proposition/Customer Segment• 3: Sept 22nd – Channels• 4: Sept 23rd - Demand Creation (Customer Relationships)• 5: Oct 13th – Revenue Model• 6: Oct 14th – Key Resources and Activities• 7: Nov 11th - Cost Structure • 8: Nov 12th – Fund Raising

9 & 10: Dec 1st / 2nd – Lessons Learned Presentations

Teams

• team size is 4 people• You chose the roles (hint: no org chart)• Present Weekly and for Final

– Weekly lessons learned– Final is demo and summary

• Class is about discovery and fast iteration

Team Projects

• Any for-profit scalable startup• If you are a domain expert, that’s your best bet

(but not required)• If you pick a web project, you have to build it

(and there needs to be some novelty)

Team Deliverables - Presentation

• Each Week– Lessons Learned presentation 10 minutes– Updated business model canvas– Update blog/wiki– 10’s of hours of “outside the building” progress

• Final Presentation– 20 minute Lessons Learned Summary

Team Deliverables - Blog

• Each Week– Business model canvas updates– Interviews– Photos/Videos– A/B tests– Strategy

Grading

Individual - 15%• Participation in class 15%

Team - 85%• 40% out-of-the-building

progress as measured by blog write-ups each week.

• 20% weekly team “lesson learned” summaries

• 25% team final report

Grade is on how much you learn

You’re graded on how much learn, not how much you sell

Bhavik Joshi
how much you learn

Office Hours

• With your team• Before and after class• Look at availability here• Get on the calendar

Intellectual Property - Suggestions

• Make sure your project is OK with your company– disclose to team what IP rights your company has to inventions

• You own what IP you brought to class with you – No team member has claim to anything you brought

• Your team jointly owns any IP developed for the class– If any of you decide to start a company based on the class, you

own only what was developed and completed in the class– You have no claim for work done before or after the class quarter– If a subset of the team decides to start a company they do NOT

“owe” anything to other team members for work done in and during the class

– All team members are free to start the same company, without permission of the others

• You are agreeing to this unless the team decides in writing to do something different

Class Disclosure/NDA’s

• Successful startups are not about the original idea – It’s about learning, discovery and execution– You will not be presenting your IP/technical details

• You get to see how previous teams solved problems by looking at their slides, notes and blogs

Therefore:

• Your slides, notes and blogs will be public• This is an open class. No non-disclosures

Four Types of Markets

Type of MarketChanges Everything

• Market– Market Size– Cost of Entry– Launch Type– Competitive

Barriers– Positioning

• Sales– Sales Model– Margins– Sales Cycle– Chasm Width

Clone Market

Existing Market Resegmented Market

New Market

• Finance• Ongoing Capital• Time to Profitability

• Customers• Needs• Adoption

Definitions: Four Types of Markets

• Clone Market– Copy of a U.S. business model

• Existing Market– Faster/Better = High end

• Resegmented Market– Niche = marketing/branding driven– Cheaper = low end

• New Market– Cheaper/good enough, creates a new class of product/customer– Innovative/never existed before

Market Size: Summary

• Market Size Questions:– How big can this market be? – How much of it can we get?– Market growth rate– Market structure (Mature or in flux?)

• Most important: Talk to Customers and Sales Channel• Next important: Market size by competitive approximation

– Wall Street analyst reports are great• And : Market research firms Like Forester, Gartner

Team Deliverable by Tomorrow

1. Hypotheses for each part of business model2. Test for each of the hypotheses

What  constitutes a pass/fail signal for the test (e.g. at what point would you say your hypotheses wasn’t even close to  correct?

3. Plan to get out of the building to test the hypotheses

• Summarized in a 5 Minute PowerPoint Presentation– Business Model Canvas– Market Size– Getting out of the building plan

Don’t Over Think Your Hypotheses

Sweet Sensors

Yu Xiang and Yi Lu, Nature Chem. 3, 697-703 (2011).

Glucose Monitor:

• Widely available• Cheap• Quantitative

information• $10 billion market

However, it can detect only one target: glucoseand at very high concentrations

We have developed a novel technology to use any glucose monitor without modifications to detect a wide range of non-glucose targets at very low concentrations(such as diseases (e.g., TB), heavy metal ions (e.g., Pb, Hg), organic toxins, bacteria, viruses and cancers)

Examples

Market size

- 300 million patients worldwide

- Required HbA1C testing every 60-90 days

- Available in-home HbA1C tests today are $100/10 tests

- Assuming $1 per test, TAM = $1.2 billion

- Assuming 50% people have the access to a HbA1c test, SAM = $600 million

- Assuming we can capture 20% of SAM (high-end diabetics and early adopters), Target market = $120 million

Total available market = $1.2 billion

Serviceable Available Market = $600 million

Target market = $120 million

Market Size

• Growing market– Aging population– Living Style & Diets– Chronic disease

• Driving factors– Healthcare costs– Reimbursement– Healthcare labor shortage

Total Available market 170M (US & EU5)

Target market 3.5M (Resistant Hypertension)$500M

Critical Success Factors

• Validation of the need– By talking to diabetic patients, clinician and nurses

• Validation of the customer segmentation– By talking to glucose monitor and kit manufactures

• Evidence of market accessibility– By talking to glucose monitor and kit distributors
