It's easy to build a startup ! Viorel  Spînu founder   of   TaskWriter.com ASE October  the 14 th , 2009
Sooo...you wanna build a business ?
Great !
What is “a business” ?
“ A business (also called a firm, or enterprise) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers.” wikipedia
Still wanna build it ?
Very good !
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What is the first thing you need to start a business ?
(of course, you already have “THE IDEA”)‏ we all do
“  MONEY ”
WRONG !
1.  “Why am I doing that ?”
2. gather data
“ A business (also called a firm, or enterprise) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide  goods  and/or  services  to  consumers .” wikipedia
“ Is there someone who would actually pay ??”
Yeah, besides yourself ! :)
who would buy ? define your market
how many possible customers are there ? market size
Is there competition ?
- no competition - REALLY ?!?! NOT GOOD !
I've started Homix   with (almost) no competition
and I've closed it after one year only :)‏
- there is competition - OK, good start, means there are also some money in the market
gather as much data as you can about the competition
compete.com, alexa.com, forum members, blogs, crunchbase.com, your friends, support forums, RSS feed readers on their blogs
write down the numbers
does it still make sense for you ?
good !
now do the planning  !
“ hm..no programming yet, no money raising yet ?”
no, just not yet :)‏
and use pen and paper, don't just keep the data in your mind
how many users you will have in  1 month ? 3 months ? 1 year ? 3 years ?
how much money you will make in  1 month ? 3 months ? 1 year ? 3 years ?
“ but how can I possibly know that  ???”
you can't do “educated guess” !
why do that anyway ?
you need to run a marathon, and not just the first 500 meters !
you need to get used to the numbers, you need to trust your projections
OK, * NOW * it's time for  some programming :)‏
build the simplest thing that works
and get out there to the users !
NOW !!!
taskwriter.com one month prototype
experiment a lot, measure everything
(google analytics, use events)‏
tell the world what you do
.ro. Bucharest : OpenCoffee, GeekMeet, Wurbe
“ but they're gonna steal my idea !!!!”
really ? :)‏ I already have 1000 ideas of my own
and the fact that you have the product ready will not stop me anyway :)‏
release often !
as in  “several times a day”
build a process
automate extensively
use SCRUM
think * on * what and why you're doing
plan and monitor  daily weekly monthly
watch your money !
“ what money ?!??!!”
* DAILY * cashflow !
keep your expenses LOW !
“ what do I get from that ?”
have fantastic customer support
gather people around you
it's NO magic, YOU can do that !
“ if I could only work for a month with X”
months later
you have a working product
you have users and fans around you
you have a few paying customers
* NOW * it's time to think about raising money :)‏
Great audience ! :)‏ @viorelspinu [email_address]
