How to Turn Ideas into Entrepreneurial Adventure
“How to Turn Ideas into Product”
Koustubha Deshpande (KD)
What am I going to talk about
My Journey
Lessons I learnt
What I wish I’d have known before
So you have ideas
Before you start..
Keep in mind, “Ideas are cheap,
execution is everything”
Best ideas are
Something that you want
That you can build
And few others realize it’s worth doing
Let me explain, “It starts with what if..”
Idea
ProblemMobile beta testing.
SolutionBuilt a web app to automate this processLunched a websiteInvited other developers to use it.
Then, “It will be really cool
if…
Product
Finally, “Will you pay for
this…”(Bottom line is ROI)
Bummer, “hmmm / May be / One
day / If you add..”
Lesson 1. Find problem, “Ensure problem really
exist & it’s worth solving”
Lesson 2. Focus on what matters
“Make one thing great. Get one thing right.”
-Andy Dunn, Bonobos CEO
Lesson 3. Recruit the right team
“Together we will go far”
“Define what” (as opposed to the how)
Lesson 4. “Fund raising is not
really about money.”
Lesson 5.
“Successful product is never done or perfect”
Launch and Listen
Think and respond
Lesson 6.
“Set Goals Reach & Repeat”
Lesson 7.
“Don’t let people tell you your idea won’t
work.”
