Startup Idea Validation

It is important and not very difficult to classify the segment that your business will be catering to. Sometimes, businesses sell to multiple segments. It is important for you to explore all and decide where your business target segment lies.

• D2C - Direct to Consumer (D2C)

• Social Commerce

• B2C - One(Seller) to many(customer)

• B2B - Many(business) to Many(Business)

• C2C - Many(consumer) to many(Consumer)

Now, take some time and think about this. Would you go out there and shout out from the roof tops to one and all about your product or rather go and talk to the select few with whom your chances of selling the product are much higher?

What is Ideal Target Customer / User Persona?

Validating the demand for your idea is more important than ANYTHING. More important than the features, your team, the design, the pricing - everything.

• Identify the Problem, not the Solution

• Determine if it is a Tier 1 Problem

• Verify There’s a Budget for a Solution

  
  

Surveys are an excellent mechanism to collect information right from the horse's mouth.

At all times you need to be up-to-date with what your competitors are doing.

There is an excellent tool called the Google Keyword Planner which will give you a very clear idea about how much of a demand is there for your vision.

My personal experience has given me one very big insight I have learned from competitors. What you should not do. I looked at the positive things that they were doing. I also look at the things which were actually bringing them down and I made sure I did not make those mistakes which I regret later.

Google provides a tool for almost everything. The Keyword Planner helps you identify winning keywords.

Google Insights - thinkwithgoogle.com gives you a much deeper aspect of any keywords related to your business.

Google Trends tells you what's hot and what's not

Social media is the voice of your customer out there in real time. Make sure you keep your eyes and ears open at all times to it.

This is a slight underhand way of achieving our target. :-)
