Sebastian Kwiecień discusses how startups can build great products. He explains that the traditional product development model is not well-suited for innovative tech products with unknown customers. Instead, startups should use an iterative customer development approach to understand customer needs through ongoing testing and feedback. This involves building a minimum viable product, measuring customer interactions, and learning from failures to confirm a scalable business model. Kwiecień advocates using a lean startup methodology, which reduces waste through iterative development and early feedback from real customers to build the right product.

UBC Sauder SSE (Social Entrepreneurship) "What Are We Doing in the Classroom?...iain.verigin
In our Kenyan classrooms we used the Business Model Canvas to help students visualize their business opportunities.
We had them start with "Customers" and then look back to the "Value Proposition" required for those specific "Customers".
Then we had them dig deeper to determine "Customer Relationships", "Sales Channels", and "Revenue Models".
Then we looked hard at "Cost Structures".
Finally, they put it all together into a "unified canvas" which they could use to write a formal business plan.

How to apply design thinking to customer developmentHarry Alford
For entrepreneurs with a concept or early-stage startup, there is a problem/solution fit before product/market fit. This also couldn't be more the case when launching a new project or spinning out a venture within a large enterprise.
According to Simon-Kucher & Partners, customers don't care about seven out of 10 new products introduced to the market. One way to ensure customers want your product is by having a strong value proposition.
Utilizing design thinking tools allows you to design products and services that customers want regardless of the size of your enterprise.
Design thinking and customer development are both customer discovery processes. However, if you want to get it right before making big bets while optimizing for speed on limited resources, then these processes are a winning combination.
Above, in the presentation, are four excellent exercises to utilize to drive innovation forward at your enterprise:
Sailboat
Empathy Map
Lean Canvas
Cover Story
If you're scaling disruptive innovations with new business models, then you are targeting non-consumers of a category. This increases the level of difficulty and rate of failure. But sometimes the problems are well defined and can be solved through design thinking exercises.
These are just four ways to apply design thinking to customer development. Still, when facilitated appropriately, they provide a strong foundation for defining the current state, understanding the customer, making a business case, and visioning success.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
1. How to build great products?
Sebastian Kwiecień
Epic Ventures sp. z o.o.
Wrocław, April 11th 2015
2. About Epic Ventures
• Helping tech entrepreneurs with funding and operations
• A broker, a consultant
• Helping with business plans, business models, sales and
fundrising
• A few success stories
– Rised funds for Finpack.pl
– Rised funds for Hatak.pl
– Sold Biblionetka to PWN
– Sold Dziennik Internautów to Infor Biznes
• Lots of consultations on the way
7. Why do startups fail?
• 9 of 10 startups live no longer than 2 years
• Of those who survive 9 of 10 will not last longer than another 3
years
• Why is it so?
15. Product Development Model
• Every company launching new products uses some version of
product development model
• This product-centric model was developed in the 20s of last
century, in the middle of century it was adapted by FMCG
companies, and by the end of century also by tech companies
• Unfortunatelly it works only when the market is very well
defined, stable, and the customer is well known
• …which doesn’t fit innovative tech products
16. Why do startups need to take
some other way?
• Startups very often build something nobody needs, so they
really don’t care if its on time or on budget
• So the real purpose of a startup should be to understand what
really should be built – what does customer really need
19. How is it different from Product
Development Model?
• Failures (iterations?) are OK if you plan to learn from them
• You will fail (iterate?) a few times before you can confirm you
know your customer, market and product hypotheses
• Iterative model
20.
21.
22.
23.
24. Customer Development
summary
• One main purpose: to confirm that there is profitable,
scalable business model for a company/ product
• That was actually lacking in pure Product Development Model
25. Customer Development obstacle
• Do geeks love to sell?
• Meh!
• Talking to people?
• Let’s build a product right now…
•
• Actually you need sales+marketing skills since the very
beginning
27. Lean Startup
• Introduced by Eric Ries
• Based on Steve Blank’s Customer Development
• Main theses
– Lean approach = reduce waste
– Iterative development = Build – Measure – Learn
– Early feedback from real customers
– End-user early feedback = Customer Development
28. How can a startup build great
products?
• Lean approach – reduce waste whenever possible
• Question all assumptions
• Iterative approach
• Measure everything
• Interdisciplinary problem solving (hipster, hacker, hustler)
• Making mistakes is OK if you plan to learn from them
•
• Or simply BUILD IT THE LEAN STARTUP WAY – it’s all there!
