9. How to become a Successful Technopreneur ?
A technopreneur often needs to go the extra mile to be successful. Any innovative idea can sound promising, but what
matters is the execution. Exploring uncharted territories and being persistent are essential for any technopreneur. The
will to never give up, even after failures, is what distinguishes them from the rest of the population. Given below are
specificpoints that need to be kept in mind for any technopreneur to be successful:
Identify and develop your idea: It is going to take hours, sometimes weeks or months, of brainstorming to find an
industry gap and a better, alternative way to do a thing. But once you do, the best way is to keep asking yourself
the questions. Ask yourself why is this way better than the traditional way? How would it help the end consumer?
Why would they consider spending money on this? Would they actually spend any money on the new technology?
Is it too complicated? Would it make the consumers’ lives easier? Think from a consumer perspective, always.
Imagine, if you were the end consumer, would you want to use what you are creating? Once you start having
answers to these questions, your idea will be developing into a product/service/process.

10. Build an agile team: Technopreneurship is the art of combining technological fortitude with entrepreneurial
skills. A dedicated cadre of support staff is significant for any technopreneurship to be successful. If you’re not
that tech savvy, hire someone who is. If you don’t know the right way to reach your target customer group, hire a
marketing expert. Find individuals that can support you who can help you turn your idea into reality. Remember:
It is not a one-man show, it is simply team effort. Yes, you gave birth to the idea, but it is best to build a team of
talented people you can rely on for differentaspects of your technopreneurial venture.
Boosts problem-solving skills: As a technopreneur, you’ll be facing new challenges every single day, especially
in the beginning. You may have to figure out operational blockages, raising funding, budget obstacles and other
problems. To deal with what’s thrown at you, problem-solving skills are imperative. The best way is to take it
one-issue-at-a-time and fix all that is within your control. Keep in mind that if your Plan A fails, you might need
to come up with a Plan B.
Decision on the final strategy: When trying to come up with a better way of doing things, you might end up with
more than one alternative. If you do so, conduct an in-depth research of estimates, pros and cons of all the
alternatives. At the end, try choosing the most cost-effective, commercially viable and feasible option that would
also cater to the needs of the customers in the best possible way.
