- Startups go through phases of customer discovery, validation, and creation where hypotheses about customers and products are tested iteratively through contact with potential users.
- There are three types of markets that determine how startups should approach sales, marketing, and business development - existing, resegmented, and new markets.
- Engineering approaches also differ between startups searching for problems/solutions and large companies executing known requirements. Founders must lead the search while product management can help or hinder it.

However, it notes an "entrepreneurial explosion" is now occurring, enabled by low startup costs, short development times, fast customer adoption, global innovation, and large pools of risk capital. It distinguishes between small businesses, large company innovation, and scalable startups. Scalable startups search for a business model through customer development and agile development, rather than executing a predetermined plan, in order to transition successfully from startup to large company.

Lean Startup
Lean StartupJohn Greene The document discusses different types of startups: Lifestyle startups focus on passion projects with small revenues. Small business startups aim to support a family with a known product. Scalable startups search for a business model to grow big with unknown customers/features. Buyable startups seek an exit through acquisition. The document also discusses sustaining/disruptive innovation at large companies and social entrepreneurship. It defines a startup as searching for a repeatable, scalable business model under uncertainty. The lean startup process is presented as a solution to validate learning through frequent experiments and customer feedback over rigid plans.

It discusses that the goal of a startup is to quickly figure out what customers want and will pay for through systematic experiments. The Lean Startup process involves having a clear vision and testing hypotheses about customer value and growth through a build-measure-learn feedback loop using minimum viable products. It emphasizes validated learning to determine whether to pivot the strategy or persevere based on empirical results.
Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organize...
Steve Jobs' LEAN STARTUP PROJECT MANAGEMENT: How Steve Jobs Planned, Organize...Rod King, Ph.D. Steve Jobs' approach to creating extraordinarily successful products is shrouded in mystery. This presentation introduces a new framework, "Lean Startup Project Management", which can be used to explain Steve Jobs' innovation methodology which was largely intuitive. As the name implies, Lean Startup Project Management focuses on translating into reality ideas and principles from Eric Ries's bestselling book, "The Lean Startup." The core tool of Lean Startup Project Management is the One-Page Lean Startup which is a multilevel dashboard. Whereas existing approaches focus on using a tactical dashboard for Lean Startup Project Management, the One-Page Lean Startup uses 3 integrated dashboards: visionary, strategic, and tactical One-Page Lean Startup. Users end up saving time, money, energy, and lots of other resources. Experiment with the One-Page Lean Startup and provide us with your feedback.

Final le web london (june 2013)
Final le web london (june 2013)Mark Suster The document discusses the rise of the sharing economy. It argues that economic challenges like unemployment, debt, and scarce resources are driving the growth of collaborative consumption models enabled by new networking technologies. These models allow underutilized assets and skills to be monetized, creating new opportunities for both individuals and businesses. The sharing economy empowers people in developing economies and removes physical boundaries to access global markets. While concerns exist around regulation and data privacy, the networking effects of these new platforms are opening up new peer-to-peer models that are disrupting traditional industries and hierarchies.
Destination marketing

The core product being marketed is the destination itself, including its attractions, amenities, accessibility, and perceived image. National tourism organizations in most countries are responsible for destination marketing through promotional campaigns and product development. Their goals are to raise awareness of the country as a visitor destination and maximize long-term tourism benefits. In New Zealand, Tourism New Zealand undertakes destination marketing with the mission of marketing the country as a visitor destination.
Disruptive Innovation And The Bankruptcy Of Polaroid
Disruptive Innovation And The Bankruptcy Of PolaroidChris Sandström Polaroid declared bankruptcy in 2001 due to the disruptive shift from analog to digital photography. While Polaroid invested in digital technology starting in the 1980s, developing sensors with megapixels, it failed to develop a new business model for digital imaging and continued relying on selling film. As digital cameras provided instant photography more cheaply, Polaroid's competitive advantage was destroyed within years. Management became more focused on short-term profits and marketing of existing products rather than developing the new business model needed for digital photography.

TEDxESADE talk Service Design for the Sharing Economy
TEDxESADE talk Service Design for the Sharing EconomyClaro Partners Inc. With increased connectivity, networks at both a global and local level are growing rapidly whilst new communities can develop and flourish through digital channels. These allow for resources to be shared, swapped, borrowed and traded; bearing a new economy that favours access over ownership.
This is a dramatically different user experience context that demands a transformation of our approach to service design. In this session we will share findings from our global research that explored the experiences and opportunities involved in moving from an ownership economy to one built on access and sharing. In this presentation we present guidelines for creating value exchange networks and share some tools we’ve developed for creating networked services and business models in the sharing economy.

VC signaling in seed rounds
VC signaling in seed roundsVenture Hacks Venture capital investors often signal valuable information to other investors through their investment decisions and level of participation in funding rounds. This signaling can influence whether other investors choose to participate. Seed investors typically make faster decisions with less paperwork than later stage investors. The level of participation from existing investors can signal whether a startup is worth further investment. Social proof from other investors is a rational factor in investment decisions.

Tran Quoc Bao: Asian Healthcare Leader and Top 10 Most Influential Hospital C...Ignite Capital Hospital Planning in Public-Private Partnerships: A Financial Framework for Success
By Dr. Tran Quoc Bao, Healthcare Industry Expert
In the rapidly evolving world of hospital Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), understanding the underlying financial assumptions is crucial for successful project execution. Dr. Tran Quoc Bao, one of Vietnam's most influential healthcare leaders, emphasizes the importance of a detailed financial model when planning hospital infrastructure through PPPs. This approach helps sponsors, particularly in greenfield projects, estimate capital and operational needs with greater precision.
A key component of this model is the breakdown of construction costs, which are typically estimated at $2,000 per square meter. The model suggests varying space requirements per bed depending on the region: 120m² in Emerging Markets, 170m² in Western Europe, and a significantly larger 360m² in the U.S. These differences reflect regional healthcare standards, and understanding these variations is critical for accurate cost forecasting.
Ongoing capital expenditures (capex) are also a significant consideration. This includes 2.5% for building maintenance and 15% for equipment costs, ensuring that the financial model aligns with real-world expectations. Operating costs per bed typically range from $120,000 to $160,000 annually. This financial framework also includes assumptions about debt-equity ratios (70/30) and a base loan interest rate of 12%, offering insight into project financing.
A vital component of the model is the expected return on equity (ROE), which ranges between 16-18%. This figure provides valuable guidance for investors in understanding the long-term financial sustainability of hospital PPP projects. Moreover, Dr. Bao highlights that upfront capital expenditure subsidies can substantially reduce annual PPP payments, providing governments and sponsors with greater flexibility in structuring agreements.
This comprehensive financial framework offers crucial clarity for hospital PPPs, allowing investors and sponsors to make smarter, more informed decisions about healthcare infrastructure development. By embracing these financial principles, stakeholders can enhance the predictability of costs, optimize resource allocation, and ultimately ensure the success of hospital PPP projects across various markets.
