STORYBOARDFrom problem to solution … the history of Luisa – our challenge


edu4change4development allows Luis to be in contact and work together with both, people like her and entrepreneurs over the world who can

provide support and mentoring, financial support and all kind of help delivered on line

Luisa is a girl between 18 and 35 years old who lives on an environment where she is challenged to be an entrepreneur

Luisa looks around and cant’ really find entrepreneurship, help to become and entrepreneur or even understand well

what that impliesLuisa looks around and sees crisis, poor salaries and her parents facing problems

What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?

Luisas’s school starts promoting edu4change4development, a tool

designed to help young people think like an entrepreneur, providing a space

where where videos, blogs and all kind of interaction tools, mentors and solid

contents, promotes learning and teamwork

Teachers are not entrepreneurs and

seminars conducted by

entrepreneurs are superficial and

vague

And while she is out on the street , edu4change4development allows Luis to

locate other members of the edu4change4development network


EDU4CHANGE4DEVELOPMENT

An online net where people get together, in a teamwork mode, to

support, share, learn, mentor, and promote projects and thinking

Market

We provide data for explain the potential size, the Market analysis,

and the findings from the data collected


• To improve and to validate our proposal, we ask through surveys and interviews to our market target. Our target market is people between 18-35 years old, from countries with necessities to entrepreneurship as countries of LATAM, Portugal, Spain, and Vietnam.

• The result shown that: it is imperative to train young people to enable them to achieve entrepreneurial thinking. Furthermore, in the current scenario and future, few young people are creator of companies, the rest will be employed. But everyone must generate new ideas and promote enterprises wherever they work. And, moreover, the interviews validated the interest in entrepreneurship in young people, but they do not see it as a possible future. Only in college or universities, they listen to be entrepreneurs.

Marketing analysis


Marketing experiments – interviews & surveys






Findings

• The team made research on the Internet and personal interviews in a total of 11 countries to people from a range of 18 to 35 years old, totalling 79 people.

• The team keeps careful records of the results and results analysis.

• The research revealed some new information and confirmed our basic proposal


In order to expose our work, this is our empathy map original in spanish.


Projection

- The number of young people interested in becoming an entrepreneur is growing. In several countries the population increase. Examples as Chile, Colombia, Perú are examples in LATAM of entrepreneuship but more youngs need support specially of the medium socio-economic level. Other countries needs start new projects to their young population as Vietanm, Portugal and/or Spain.

- They don’t have a reliable source of entrepreneurial formation and information. There is many courses of entrepreneusrhips and great quantities of net to support enterpreneurship, but, the sustainability to guarantee and supporting the new enterprises is weak or not exist.

- They don’t have a network which gives support (financially, technologically, emotionally, etc.).

- The young population (18-35 years) is increasing in the countries included in the market.


Target market

• B2C– 18-35 Young people having the needs to learn

entrepreneurship in order to open their own business or to apply entrepreneurial skill to their life.

– Potential entrepreneurs with more experience or maturity, or people working as employers or not-employers actually.

– Trainers and tutors having the need to be upgraded.


Target market

• B2B– Individual (to create your own MOOC; update

research; participate in a hands-on experience to connect entrepreneurship research to curricula choice).

– Public and private schools, colleges, Universities, education and training centers (renting platform and/or contents; training tutors and mentors; inspire new ideas for entrepreneurship curricula and model design at your campus).


Target market

After studying various characteristics trough observation and marketing research from costumers who will use our services/products, research several case studies and demographics, our differentiated products and services meet the needs of ours primary costumers.


Target market

• From the addressable market, we estimate a target that might vary between 2 to 3% at first; only LATAM, Spain, Portugal and Vietnam would probably be on the larger % of potential customers.

Business Model

Please, see the Business Model at

http://canvanizer.com/canvas/k19XSGewQeI

This actual work operate as a cycle, in a dynamic way, where we re-think, improve, refine, change original ideas. All the model can be reshaped.




Our Canvas Model (1/3)






Value Proposition

• Provide a global net of entrepreneurship to people which need to think as entrepreneurship. Our customers are people which like or need learn about entrepreneurships in order to shape their career or future in direction to create enterprise, improve their future possible professional role, not-employers, associate with entrepreneurships, etc. More specific details and rationale: Having the needs to learn entrepreneurship in order to open their own business or to apply entrepreneurial skill to their life. They can come from all over the world and especially in emerging markets to tap on available opportunities. decide whether they should go for college or not.

• Our value proposition characteristics and our idea of Entrepreneurial Network (EN) are based on (a) a cMOOC and (b) net of support to entrepreneurships.


Did the team clearly explain how their business model works and how they would make money?

• The revenue streams is well defined and somehow tested.

• Is very clear to understand.• For the analysis can be seen that the gains

outweigh the costs.• It is necessary to adopt the model to see if the

model is really well this way or if it needs some adjustment.


Did the team appear to have tested their business model in the real world?

• Not tested our model in reality, but the interviews give us a vision of our business model (is well executed and meets a global need).

• The results of interviews allowed us to define and redefine our business model.

• At this moment we are working in freemium model, refining it to get funds from state, crowfounding and private enterprises that actually promote entrepreneurship in schools. And, in the next state of the project we are evaluating paid system.

Are they already making sales?

• Our submissionhttps://novoed.com/venture2/reports/121115• Right now the team is in the process of refining

the design and so has not yet been made any sales.

• However, we will apply the freemium model with various aspects such as:

1. One model for individual costumers2. Other model for companies costumers

https://novoed.com/venture2/reports/121115


Are they already making sales?

• Our individual costumers will test the platform for free and then there will be a monthly cost that will be different to members and not members.

• Our companies costumers will also test the platform for free and then each case must be studied individually and to be able to set a budget.

• The team is in the process of starting testing the sales strategy defined because is first necessary to conclude the platforms and resources in order to effectively sell our products and services.


Do you believe they could make sufficient money to earn good profits and cover their costs?

• Our submissionhttps://novoed.com/venture2/reports/145072• The research indicates that we can cover our

costs.• Here the partnerships and distribution have an

important role.• Our submissionhttps://novoed.com/venture2/reports/137970
