What’s in the workflow you’re about to get:
Use our workflow to build your business.
This works the same way as if you had a mentor or startup consultant. All resources are included, sessions are explained step-by-step and you can collaborate with your team easily.
Develop and validate your idea
Use the SCAMPER tool to develop an idea. Identify a problem and create a list of all existing solutions. You can start with an existing solution if you have one. Then, ask yourself, “What could I substitute?”.”What can I change?” “What is not necessary?”

Define your buyer persona
A buyer or user persona is a tool commonly used to represent a target audience for your product or service. Creating a persona is like creating a file with everything you know about that target audience so you can develop content marketing, develop your product or design, etc. The more time you spend defining your “persona” the more likely to develop a good marketing, product, business, and sales strategy. Keep your persona updated.

PESTEL, Value proposition, and your “Why”
Gather information about your environment and discover new opportunities with the industry-standard PESTEL framework. Once the first session is completed, move to the Value proposition canvas. The value proposition canvas was created by Alex Osterwalder of Strategyzer AG to help you define the value you provide to your customers by understanding their needs.
