created web-page to the project (edu4change4development)

edu4change4development, but now there is a strong
commitment to take it forward and the members devote
many hours to go beyond of course requirements.

STORYBOARD
From problem to solution … the history of Luisa – our challenge

edu4change4development allows Luis to be in
contact and work together with both, people like
her and entrepreneurs over the world who can
provide support and mentoring, financial support
and all kind of help delivered on line
Luisa is a girl between 18 and 35 years
old who lives on an environment where
she is challenged to be an entrepreneur
Luisa looks around and cant’ really find
entrepreneurship, help to become and
entrepreneur or even understand well
what that impliesLuisa looks around and sees crisis, poor salaries
and her parents facing problems
What does it
mean to be an
entrepreneur?
Luisas’s school starts promoting
edu4change4development, a tool
designed to help young people think like
an entrepreneur, providing a space
where where videos, blogs and all kind
of interaction tools, mentors and solid
contents, promotes learning and
teamwork
Teachers are not
entrepreneurs and
seminars
conducted by
entrepreneurs are
superficial and
vague
And while she is out on the street
, edu4change4development allows Luis to
locate other members of the
edu4change4development network

A commitment to a new form of engagement with young people

Market
We provide data for explain the
potential size, the Market analysis,
and the findings from the data
collected

• To improve and to validate our proposal, we ask through surveys
and interviews to our market target. Our target market is people
between 18-35 years old, from countries with necessities to
entrepreneurship as countries of LATAM, Portugal, Spain, and
Vietnam.
• The result shown that: it is imperative to train young people to
enable them to achieve entrepreneurial thinking. Furthermore, in
the current scenario and future, few young people are creator of
companies, the rest will be employed. But everyone must generate
new ideas and promote enterprises wherever they work. And,
moreover, the interviews validated the interest in entrepreneurship
in young people, but they do not see it as a possible future. Only in
college or universities, they listen to be entrepreneurs.
Marketing analysis

Marketing experiments – interviews &
surveys

Findings
• The team made research on the Internet and
personal interviews in a total of 11 countries to
people from a range of 18 to 35 years old,
totalling 79 people.
• The team keeps careful records of the results and
results analysis.
• The research revealed some new information and
confirmed our basic proposal

In order to expose our work, this is our empathy map original in spanish.

Projection
- The number of young people interested in becoming an entrepreneur is
growing. In several countries the population increase. Examples as
Chile, Colombia, Perú are examples in LATAM of entrepreneuship but more
youngs need support specially of the medium socio-economic level. Other
countries needs start new projects to their young population as
Vietanm, Portugal and/or Spain.
- They don’t have a reliable source of entrepreneurial formation and
information. There is many courses of entrepreneusrhips and great quantities
of net to support enterpreneurship, but, the sustainability to guarantee and
supporting the new enterprises is weak or not exist.
- They don’t have a network which gives support
(financially, technologically, emotionally, etc.).
- The young population (18-35 years) is increasing in the countries included in
the market.

Target market
• B2C
– 18-35 Young people having the needs to learn
entrepreneurship in order to open their own business
or to apply entrepreneurial skill to their life.
– Potential entrepreneurs with more experience or
maturity, or people working as employers or not-
employers actually.
– Trainers and tutors having the need to be upgraded.

Target market
• B2B
– Individual (to create your own MOOC; update
research; participate in a hands-on experience to
connect entrepreneurship research to curricula
choice).
– Public and private
schools, colleges, Universities, education and
training centers (renting platform and/or contents;
training tutors and mentors; inspire new ideas for
entrepreneurship curricula and model design at
your campus).

Target market
After studying various characteristics trough
observation and marketing research from
costumers who will use our services/products,
research several case studies and demographics,
our differentiated products and services meet
the needs of ours primary costumers.

Target market
• From the addressable market, we estimate a
target that might vary between 2 to 3% at
first; only LATAM, Spain, Portugal and Vietnam
would probably be on the larger % of potential
customers.

Target market

Business Model
Please, see the Business Model at
http://canvanizer.com/canvas/k19XSGewQeI
This actual work operate as a cycle, in a dynamic way, where we re-think, improve, refine, change original
ideas. All the model can be reshaped.

Our Canvas Model (1/3)

Value Proposition
• Provide a global net of entrepreneurship to people which need to
think as entrepreneurship. Our customers are people which like or
need learn about entrepreneurships in order to shape their career
or future in direction to create enterprise, improve their future
possible professional role, not-employers, associate with
entrepreneurships, etc. More specific details and rationale: Having
the needs to learn entrepreneurship in order to open their own
business or to apply entrepreneurial skill to their life. They can
come from all over the world and especially in emerging markets to
tap on available opportunities. decide whether they should go for
college or not.
• Our value proposition characteristics and our idea of
Entrepreneurial Network (EN) are based on (a) a cMOOC and (b)
net of support to entrepreneurships.

Did the team clearly explain how their business
model works and how they would make money?
• The revenue streams is well defined and
somehow tested.
• Is very clear to understand.
• For the analysis can be seen that the gains
outweigh the costs.
• It is necessary to adopt the model to see if the
model is really well this way or if it needs some
adjustment.

Did the team appear to have tested their
business model in the real world?
• Not tested our model in reality, but the
interviews give us a vision of our business model
(is well executed and meets a global need).
• The results of interviews allowed us to define and
redefine our business model.
• At this moment we are working in freemium model,
refining it to get funds from state, crowfounding and
private enterprises that actually promote
entrepreneurship in schools. And, in the next state of
the project we are evaluating paid system.

Are they already making sales?
• Our submission
https://novoed.com/venture2/reports/121115
• Right now the team is in the process of refining
the design and so has not yet been made any
sales.
• However, we will apply the freemium model with
various aspects such as:
1. One model for individual costumers
2. Other model for companies costumers

Are they already making sales?
• Our individual costumers will test the platform for
free and then there will be a monthly cost that will
be different to members and not members.
• Our companies costumers will also test the platform
for free and then each case must be studied
individually and to be able to set a budget.
• The team is in the process of starting testing the sales
strategy defined because is first necessary to conclude
the platforms and resources in order to effectively sell
our products and services.

Do you believe they could make sufficient money
to earn good profits and cover their costs?
• Our submission
• The research indicates that we can cover our
costs.
• Here the partnerships and distribution have an
important role.
• Our submission
