How to Find a Market – Use JTBD as the Front End of Customer Discovery
Click HereExcerpt:
“Modern entrepreneurship began at the turn of the 21st century with the observation that startups aren’t smaller versions of large companies – large companies at their core execute known business models, while startups search for scalable business models. Lean Methodology consists of three tools designed for entrepreneurs building new ventures:
- The Business Model Canvas – to write down all the hypotheses about a new business;
- Customer Development – a process for testing those hypotheses outside the building;
- Agile Engineering – to rapidly build minimal viable products to test product/market fit.
These tools tell you how to rapidly find product/market fit inside a market, and how to pivot when your hypotheses are incorrect. However, they don’t help you figure out where to start the search for your new business.”
