Do I have a chance?
You will die before you make
any money out of it.*
Do I have a chance?
*or at least get very old, as the evolution speed accelerates
The Evolution Axis
Genesis UtilityCustom Built Product(+rental)
●Measured
●Stable
●Predictable
●Cost of doing business
●Market penetration near 100%
●Usually invisible to the user
●Electricity, Network, Computing
Utility
●contract to fulfill
●sheer price matters
●no room for innovation
●really large scale
●nobody will see that
●existing users may not be willing to switch unless you’re
significantly cheaper
ocan you be significantly cheaper without deep
experience in the field?
Startup problems

●off-the-shelf product/rental
●maturing
Transitional phase
●IBM Watson
●cars
●virtual personal assistants (Google Now, Apple Siri, Amazon Echo)
product-to-product startup
Canonical vs Red Hat
●a number of years of really unsuccessful fight
●tough competition of free, open sourced products
●huge inertia proportional to the size of adopter
community
●product needs to be 9x better to cause replacement*
●entering still possible, time-proportional market share
product-to-product startup
* heard from one business angel, may be an approximation
No. Unless you’ve got
●a really, really good product
●a really, really good sales
●a lot of time
Do I have a chance?

Inertia
●to increase the overall effectiveness of sales departments [...];
●to improve the effectiveness of sales to large customers [...];
●[...] more precise monitoring of the level of customer satisfaction[...];
●[...] price policy (promotional offers, packaging of services) [...];
●[...] ATMAN Private Cloud [...];

companies stop here
●is a deadly threat to corporations
●is the sweet spot for startups
the wall of inertia
takes product, makes “cost of doing business” utility
examples:
●Amazon EC2
●Neostrada
product-to-utility startup
●effectiveness - when the price defends you
owhat is the cost of your own datacenter/e-mail server?
oSomething is so cheap, that suddenly everyone can afford it
lFord T
lCommodore 64
lPrinted books
●Jevons effect
Industrialization
Do I have a chance?
Absolutely!

●IBM PC vs Apple Mac
●Google Android vs Apple iOS
●Sony Betamax vs JVC VHS
Open Approach
Ecosystem
The Wardley Mapping is really powerful technique:
lHS2
lHM Government
lDutch Government
lTwo very large banks
Why?
About the presentation
There is time only for this...
I work on a tool designed for mapping.
The tool is open-source (ASL 2.0).
I need you to start using it.
You need to be AWARE!
Reasons
certain kind of very interesting innovations
scale matters
different scales requires different approaches
open source helps
beware of inertia
