Lean Startup Customer Development Level: Tomb Raider
At JFDI.Asia, we help over 60% of our teams raise on average 500,000 dollars, including a Thai startup you may know, ShopSpot. ...
Hindsight is 20/20. When you look back on any project or endeavor, you get a better idea of what was important and what wasnât.
The same is true with startups. After working on a business for a year or two or more, you have a better idea about what was worth worrying about and what wasnât as bigâŠ

KISSinsights Customer Development Tactics from Cindy Alvarez
"Every successful startup goes through four phases in the eyes of competitors. First, they ignore you, because you're tiny and irrelevant. Then they ridicule you, because you're making them nervous. Then they freak out and try to kill you. Then, eventually, they try to buy you." - Henry Blodget, CEO of Business Insider

Steve Jobs Insult Response (by Mike Cane)
(via GrowHack » Noah Kaganâs 6 Steps to a Customer Lovegasm)
For many companies, technology serves as what Warren Buffett calls a moat. The piece that canât be copied. As DHH pointed out, this is where products like Groupon struggle, their technology isnât a moat. If the technology isnât a moat, then the community must be. Communities are very hard to copy. By definition, Grouponâs community will go anywhere the cheap deals are, and arenât many positive network effects at play. For services like Heroku, YouTube, Google, and Amazon, their moat has evolved to the point where theyâre close to untouchable. Itâs not easy to build what theyâve already built. And while youâre busy trying to get there, theyâre busy adding crocodiles and piranhas. Going head to head with these businesses is a very risky idea for a start-up. It sounds stupid to say it, but YouTube didnât have to compete with a YouTube. There was no Heroku before Heroku. Similarly, you should find an area where you can attack either through low-end or new-market disruption, rather than stepping into the ring with a giant who made up the rules.

Bounce Lean Canvas Review w- Riyaz & Justin - Customer Development Labs (by Justin Wilcox)
 Lean Sales and Marketing Infographic :: Lean Sales and Marketing thru Service Design Thinking
The Product Canvas displays the key pieces of information necessary to create a new product. As its name suggests, it intends to paint a holistic picture of the product.
The biggest challenge when developing a new product is to deal with uncertainty and lack of knowledge. We may not know, for instance, if there is enough demand for the product or which needs should be addressed. The Product Canvas is therefore designed as a learning tool: to sketch our initial ideas, to get enough stories ready for implementation, and to adapt and refine the content based on the insights gained. The following picture illustrates this cycle.

Designing for Viral Distribution intercom.io
At some point every prodÂuct owner ponÂders how to make it go viral, as a thought experÂiÂment if nothÂing more.
The opporÂtuÂniÂties to creÂate truly viral prodÂucts are very limÂitÂed, but by underÂstandÂing the techÂniques involved, yoâŠ
DefinÂing Your SharÂing MechÂaÂnism TypÂiÂcalÂly B2B SaaS prodÂucts canât do this well, but if your prodÂuct has a conÂsumer facÂing side then you can benÂeÂfit from social sharÂing. Thereâs just two tasks you need to do: 1. Decide whatâs shareÂable IdenÂtiÂfy every sinÂgle meanÂingÂful shareÂable event that you have in your prodÂuct. Likes, favourites, lisÂtens, posts, comÂments, views, conÂnecÂtionsâall of them. The more you have, the greater the effect. For examÂple, SpoÂtiÂfy shares everyÂthing from song lisÂtens, favourites, and subÂscripÂtions, all the way through to playlist creÂations. This is also all done pasÂsiveÂly; the user never clicks âShareâ, it just hapÂpens. 2. Share across platÂforms To maxÂiÂmize your reach you have to make sure that netÂwork effects spread effecÂtiveÂly across a userÂbase. In short: donât send Android users to the app store. It has to work like this: Des plays a song on his deskÂtop. His friend notices it in her newsÂfeed on FaceÂbook for Android. She clicks SpoÂtiÂfy and is taken to Google play, where she downÂloads the app. AnyÂthing other than this leaves money on the table.
