Solution Validation @ Lean Startup Machine
•
3 likes•1,133 views
The document discusses solution validation and provides steps to improve the solution validation process. It emphasizes that the focus should be on getting to product-market fit as quickly as possible and validating solutions with customers who are ready to buy today. A key message is that life is too short to build something that nobody wants. It then lists five steps to better solution validation, which include defining success in advance, believing what customers do rather than what they say, identifying the riskiest assumption in the growth engine, using different MVP types like videos or crowd sourcing to test assumptions, and ensuring the solution addresses a specific customer pain point.

Proactive habit
This document contains reflections from weekly meetings that discuss being proactive. It encourages students to reflect on inspirational speakers like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, who overcame disabilities through proactivity. Students are asked to define being proactive, consider how they can apply this, and reflect on whether they are more proactive or reactive. They are given tips to embrace a proactive attitude and take initiative in their lives and goals.
Text2Calm: "I like ___!"
The document describes a pilot program called "Text2Calm" that aimed to increase feelings of calm through daily positive affirmations. Participants were asked to write and say "I like __!" each day and text their response. The goal was to encourage thinking about something positive daily. Most participants reported feeling happier or more optimistic, though some felt the affirmations were too random. The program creator aims to design it in a way that prompts more meaningful reflections for less engaged participants.

This is a PowerPoint template for the Validation Board, as designed by the www.validationboard.com. The Validation Board can be used to manage hypothesis creation and testing when building and experimenting with new business models. We used validationboard's pdf template to create a PowerPoint template and added animations and post-it notes so it can be better used for educational purposes (e.g., in entrepreneurship classes). Please feel free to adopt for class use, but also remember to check www.validationboard.com for usage rights. They say that everyone is free to use and make money with their template, but if you plan to convert it into software (e.g., web page or app) then you need to buy a license for them.

Emerging Innovation: an exploratory journey into design thinking and innovati...
Design Thinking can be used to design products, new customer experience or services, and even corporate strategy or large scale systems. Innovation Games are games whose primary intent is not pure entertainment. We learn best when we play and an increasing number of organizations have realized the enormous potential of game-based activities. Innovation Games can be applied to a broad spectrum of areas like training, hiring, generating new ideas, making meetings more effective, generating feedback about a product or service, improving communication, avoiding common decision-making pitfalls, feature prioritization, vision sharing, SWOT analysis, strategy building, reflect and learn sessions and change management... The list goes on.
Organizations like Google, IBM or the United Nations use Design thinking and Games on a regular basis. Not a single month passes without a book, article, conference or training about these increasingly popular topics.
The growing success of Agile methods, which put a strong emphasis on people interactions, fun and build a creativity-friendly environment, have made Design thinking and Innovation Games even more popular.
Idea Validation using Validation Board
This document outlines how to use a validation board to test startup ideas using the Lean Startup process. It describes a 3-step process: 1) Define your customer problem and hypothesis; 2) Plan your minimum viable product experiment to test assumptions; 3) Analyze results and pivot if not validated. The key is to get customer feedback quickly through minimal experiments rather than fully building products before validating problems and solutions. If done correctly, it can help startups stay focused on action and learning to successfully start, sustain, and scale their businesses.

Presentation done as part of Singapore Design Week Festival 2017
Summary:
How does design thinking change mindsets and culture so that a nation like Singapore can continue to innovate and lead the transformation for a better future? Harnessing the power of design thinking to build a ‘Smart Nation’ for Singapore, this workshop aims to give audiences the opportunity to realize the potential this methodology has.
A user-centered way of solving problems, design thinking involves collaboration across user segments, through strategies like customer journey mapping, design research and rapid prototyping.

Lean startup & customer development with Javelin Experiment Board
This document discusses lean startup methodology and customer development. It emphasizes defining problems through customer interviews and validation rather than predetermining solutions. The author advocates getting out of the building to talk to potential customers, looking for patterns in their responses, and iterating based on feedback until finding the right customer with the right problem to address. The goal is to collect leads and test assumptions rather than immediately acquiring customers. Techniques mentioned include A/B testing, heatmaps, crowdfunding, screen recording and eye tracking.
Innovative entrepreneurship - Noorderlingen
The document summarizes key concepts from a workshop on innovative entrepreneurship and effectuation. It discusses how startups differ from companies in that they search for a repeatable business model, and how effectuation focuses on imagining new possibilities with given resources rather than predicting the future. The document also covers customer development processes, designing minimum viable products to test assumptions, and the importance of validating learnings through real-world tests rather than just discussions or planning.

When Should You Go To The VC?
The document outlines 7 steps for developing a product before seeking venture capital (VC) funding: 1) Find a co-founder, 2) Build an MVP or prototype, 3) Promote the product, 4) Get user feedback, 5) Fix issues, 6) Stand out from competitors, 7) Start earning money. It then recommends founders ask themselves 3 questions to determine if they are ready to seek an investor: if they can still develop, grow, and sell the product alone without raising money. If the answer is no to any question, it's time to look for an investor.
Hiten shah the lean-startup-sxsw
The document discusses how KISSinsights used customer development to validate their original hypothesis that product managers struggle with doing fast, effective, and frequent customer research. They conducted phone interviews, user tests, and an MVP website to learn that people are not doing customer research, want private feedback and targeting, and it requires developer involvement and is a constant pain. Based on what they learned, KISSinsights built a freemium on-site customer feedback tool that provides private feedback and easy reporting with just a one-time install.

Get Out Of Your Own Way at Work
The document discusses how people can get in their own way of success through self-defeating behaviors (SDBs) like procrastination and defensiveness.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
