  23. Why So Hard?

  24. The Business Plan • The pain • Value proposition • Market • Who’s the customer? • IP & entry barriers • Competition • Business model • Go-to-Market plan • Management • Financing • Exit strategy

  25. The Idea—Where from?

  26. Idea—Personal Need/Interest Checking out girls at Harvard Selling girlfriend’s junk Doesn’t like sweat Needed marker for choir score Needed lighter running shoes Hassle booking rooms for SF conference

  27. Idea—Work/Customer Wrong/missing/stolen meds in hospital Manual configuration of firewalls Empty JAL cargo planes westbound Sun servers crashing on paydays

  28. Idea—Needs Gap E-commerce has no online payment system Inefficiencies in small office stores Old process stupid No stores in small towns

  29. Idea—Observe Most popular search item in mid-1990s Junk bond default rates lower than priced Biggest cost is in sorting logistics Small business works on cashflow, not accounting

  30. Idea—Others Technology roadmap—Density, clock speed, heat Why need to wait days for processing? Making beer the 16th century way

  31. Business Plan Market Customers Value Proposition

  32. It’s About Buying & Selling

  33. It’s Not Rocket Science Are there enough customers who are willing to pay you a price that gives you enough profit to build a business and yield a return for investors that’s worthwhile to invest in you?

  34. Our Focus Focus Valuation ($M) 50 10 1 .1 Hobby Lifestyle Angel VC Corporate >>>>>>>>>>

  35. Market & Customer This is the most important part of the plan.

  36. Market Research Primary • Customers • Target users • Resellers Listen for complaints: • Why is it…? • Why can’t I…? • Can you do this…? • What if? • I hate this… • This shouldn’t be so hard Secondary • Associations • Analysts • Government • “Experts” Good for general info & background • Outdated • Not specific • Backward looking

  37. Needs Analysis • What is the problem? How painful is it? • Who are the customers? • What is driving the need? • Under what circumstances does the need arise? • When does it arise? How often? Where? • How does the pain hurt the customer? • How satisfied is the customer with current solutions? • How many customers have this same need & circumstances?

  38. Be Prepared to Make the Leap “If you asked the horse buggy owner what he wanted, he’ll say a faster one.” --Steve Jobs

  39. Market • Primary, secondary, etc. • Size not as important as correct segmentation • Total vs. Served Available Market (TAM vs. SAM) • Retail vs. wholesale $$ • Bottom-up projection best (not “1% of Chinese”) • If new market, use best proxy • If all fails, use gut, “feel of market”, ROMA

  40. Watch Out/Reject: “50% CAGR from $100M to $2 billion from 2013-2018”

  41. Market Segment A subgroup of consumers sharing characteristics that cause them to have similar product needs and values. • Respond similarly to market stimuli • Can be reached by market intervention • Different from other segments • Change over time • expectations • price • capabilities

  42. Segmentation Financial Services • Money center • National • Superregional • Regional • Local • “Non-bank” banks • Credit unions Commercial Banks

  43. Segmentation Purpose • Who are our most profitable customers? • Where can we find more of them? • How can we more effectively reach them? • How can we tailor our message to each segment? • What segments need our services most, at what cost? • How can we better allocate our sales/ marketing resources? • Who’s our competition?

  44. Segmentation Criteria Geographic Nations, states, regions or cities Demographic Age, gender, family size and life cycle, or income Psychographic Social class, lifestyle, or personality Behavioral Occasions, benefits, uses, or responses

  45. Mass Marketing Same product to all consumers (no segmentation) Segment Marketing Different products to one or more segments (some segmentation) Levels of Segmentation Niche Marketing Different products to subgroups within segments ( more segmentation) Micromarketing Products to suit the tastes of individuals or locations (complete segmentation)

  46. What’s Wrong with This? Product Photo management product designed to assist Brand Marketers, Event organizers, and Sponsorship owners to take advantage of the power of event photos to assist in quantifying ROI for a given event or sponsorship. Market • Alternative advertising is a $26 billion business. • Branded entertainment spending increased to $52 billion annually.

  47. Who’s Customer? Sales Cycle Acquisition Cost Lifetime Value Time $$$ Effort User Manager IT VP/Corporate CFO CEO BOD

  48. Who’s Customer? YES • Male college student • Bank teller in credit union • Owner/sales mgr. of independent clothing stores • ER nurses NO • 15-40 yr. males • Financial services worker • Retail stores • Medical/health workers
