On Ideas

If a man makes a better mousetrap than his neighbor, though he builds his house in the woods, the world

will make a beaten path to his door.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Page 7: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

Business Concept

The manufacturer who waits for the world to beat a path to his door is a

great optimist. But the manufacturer who shows this

“mousetrap” (and its value) to the world, keeps the smoke coming out

his chimney.

O.B. Winters

OPPORTUNITY

Page 10: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

Opportunity Recognition & Business Concept

Paying attention to both the external world and your internal mind set.

Page 11: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

11

An opportunity is not an idea nor is it a business concept.

OPPORTUNITY RECOGNITION

Page 12: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

12

An Opportunity is External

• It is in the environment• It is a need to be fulfilled• It is a want to be addressed• It is a fear to be relieved• It is time limited (window of opportunity)• It is not a technology, service, or product

but an application to situation

Page 13: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

13

Ideas vs. Concepts

• Ideas are often seeing a need, want or fear and saying, “Lets meet that”

• Ideas are sometimes a technology hunting for an application or “opportunity”

• Concepts are when you put a technology together with the customer/market perspective and understand the business and revenue models that lead to sales.

Page 14: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

14

• Good ideas are not always good opportunities nor viable concepts.

• Concepts are built using ideas & entrepreneurial creativity in real time & address real problems.

• Opportunities are attractive, durable, timely, and anchored in a product or service which creates real value for its buyer and end user.

• Concepts provide Need or Want Satisfaction, Pain and/or Suffering Relief.

• Opportunities yield measurable net benefits to the entrepreneur and to society.

Opportunity, Ideas & Concepts

Page 15: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

• Opportunities are also situational– The Window of Opportunity

• Opportunities take form in real world conditions– Changing conditions– Leads and lags– Knowledge gaps– Chaos and/or confusion– Inconsistencies– Uncertainties

The Ideal Growth Market (Example)

1. Over 50 million in total size, 100 million derivable

2. Growing at a rate significantly greater than real GNP, 25-50% reasonable

3. Sufficiently fragmented or non-competitive to allow a new entry to grow to 25-50 million or more in sales within 5 years

4. Amiable to profit making by a new entry at the rate of at least 10% after tax on sales within 2 to 3 years after start up– High technology requires very high contribution margin

5. Politically and socially acceptable to traditional sources of finance once established– Bank loans– IPO or sale to larger corporation

Market Segmentation: Consumer Markets

Grouping customers is a more practical way of meeting needs than thinking of customers either as individuals or as one large mass. Groups should comprise those customers that respond to your products and services in similar ways. By planning a business around these customer groups, needs can be served effectively.

Mobile Apps and Business SenseSome Issues and Cases

Page 78: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

VIRALITY

Page 79: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

VIRALITY

Page 80: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

Mobile Apps and Business

• Consumer app developers have used to efficiently acquire large user bases and why business app developers cannot leverage the same techniques.

• Cross-promotional advertising on consumer apps can be a very effective and efficient user-acquisition technique.

Page 81: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

Example

• Dropbox is the quintessential paradigm of designing virality into a product. Users are incentivized to refer Dropbox because they receive free additional storage for doing so.

• Additionally, the act of sharing a file with a friend inherently exposes Dropbox to new potential users and serves as a trigger for customers to talk about the service.

Page 82: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

THERE ARE THREE TECHNIQUES THAT EMERGING MOBILE-FIRST BUSINESS

APP DEVELOPERS ARE USING TO BUILD VIRALITY INTO THEIR

PRODUCTS.

Page 83: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

TRIGGERS

• Triggers are events that spur an action. • In this particular context, triggers are actions that an

app user takes that provide for an opportunity to discuss the application. 

• Expensify, a mobile app for business users to submit expense reports, has built in two word-of-mouth referral triggers: – 1) every time a user takes a picture of a receipt for

expense reporting, they are triggered to talk about the app with the coworkers or clients present;

– 2) the act of submitting an expense report triggers an explanation of the product to the person approving the report.

Page 84: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

INCENTIVES

• Incentives play on the concept that users are much more likely to actively refer a product if they receive some practical value for doing so. 

• Plangrid, an iPad app for managing construction-site blueprints, uses incentives to spread among the different companies that collaborate on construction sites.

• Plangrid’s value to each site user increases with each additional company and user that joins and adds to the project.

• Thus, users have a practical incentive to refer the product to new target users.

Page 85: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

VIRALITY INTO WORKFLOW

• Lastly, building virality directly into the workflow of how a customer uses an app is a very effective way to expose the app to new potential users. 

• Doximity, a mobile professional network for physicians, has built virality into its product workflow through its secure messaging capability.

• Doctors use Doximity to send HIPAA-compliant messages to other doctors.

• Every message sent from a user to a doctor not yet on the platform exposes a new potential user to the product, because the message recipient must install Doximity to read the message.

Page 86: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

ENTERPRISE/BUSINESS APP

Page 87: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

KEY FOR ENTERPRISE APPS

• Mobile-first business apps have to follow different rules for customer acquisition in order to achieve the scale and marketing efficiency of their consumer-focused brethren.

• The key for enterprise apps is to focus on building virality into the product so users directly or indirectly spread the app within their target audience.

• The mobile-first business apps that emerge victorious will be the ones that leverage triggers, incentives and workflow to kick their user acquisition flywheel into overdrive.

Page 88: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

MOBILE APPS FOR BUSINESS AND ITS VALUE TO THEM

• Recession proof business: You can make real money now: 1 in 5 sales is currently made using a mobile application. Despite the current difficult economic trading conditions, 50% of mobile searches result in a sale, and it’s set to grow exponentially

• Rising market: The mobile apps market is set to grow to $119 Billion by 2015. Imagine how much money you will be making when the market improves. When the time comes, you’ll be able to command a substantial share of the market as an established player

Page 89: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

• Make money while you sleep – Mobile App Reseller accounts get paid by their customers monthly so you can earn money automatically while you are not even working.  Once you have a customer they stay a customer.

• Secure income now! – get paid by selling repeat monthly mobile applications so you can build your monthly income on a regular basis

Page 91: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

• Extends your sales opportunity: Spreads the business risk as it’s possible to attack virtually any vertical sector so if one market is slow you’ll find another easily that will pick up the slack

• Future-proof your business – you’ll be able to build a loyal client base. Mobile apps for business will help your clients sell more of their products and services, they can quickly see the return on investment, and will come back for more and more

Page 92: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

VALUE – EXAMPLES

Understand others business if its your business to sell them your product

Page 94: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

1. Geo-Targeted Push Notifications

• A band on tour could notify fans in a particular city that tickets there are nearly sold out or remind concert-goers to show up early so they don’t miss the opening act

• A national chain could easily send city- or region-specific notifications about special offers based on what users in that area are interested in

• A restaurant could boost loyalty by sending a special offer to customers who had been in the past year but not in the last two months

• A store could announce a sale on umbrellas coupled with a weather alert to nearby users when it’s predicted to rain soon

Page 95: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

2. Additional Sales Opportunities

• One of the single biggest opportunities for businesses to leverage mobile apps is that smartphones have opened a whole new world of shopping and engagement opportunities. Interactions between customers and businesses have grown to become geo-agnostic. The morning commute, waiting in line for movie tickets and sitting in a doctor's office are all places people could be using their smartphones to shop your store or engage with your brand.

• These pockets of free time that were previously biased toward reading, can now be used by consumers for so much more. A mobile app maximizes opportunities for reaching users in these new pockets of time. A push notification might remind users of a nearly abandoned shopping cart, bringing them back into the shopping experience.

Page 96: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

3. Geo-Targeted Advertising

• The classic targeted ad story goes something like this: A potential homeowner is stuck in traffic on his daily commute home and looks out his window to read a sign on a new housing development that says, “If you lived here, you’d be home by now.”

• Now multiply that times a billion and you’ve got the power of modern, smartphone-powered targeted advertising. These smart ads can target users by their specific location, displaying ads that are geographic and contextually optimized.

• Businesses can make on-the-fly tweaks to campaigns based on what works in a particular geographic location. They can also display coupons to potential users nearby or help users find the business by advertising directly on a map.

Page 97: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

4. Dynamic Offers

• When you tie in technologies like push notifications and geotargeting, magical things start to happen. Businesses can use data collected through geotracking and ad campaigns to deliver just-in-time offers. .

• For example, movie theaters and very time-sensitive inventory that goes to waste at a particular time and can’t be recovered. The theater could track and send a coupon to users who are nearby and looked up information about showtimes but didn’t make a purchase.

• A bar with a slow night could offer an impromptu extended happy hour to past patrons who are nearby.

Page 98: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

5. Pushing Through the Funnel

• Ever walked into a store, shopped around a bit, and then walked out without making a purchase? That’s called a "bounce." Online, users bounce for a variety of reasons and on mobile the reasons are even greater. Users might not have a credit card handy, typing in account information is considered too tedious or they simply get distracted and put their phone back in their pocket.

• Fortunately, one way to combat transaction abandonment is through automatic address fill-in. Using a phone’s GPS, transactional apps can detect a user’s location and automatically fill in address data. 

• Seamless, the leading online food delivery service, has been aggressively marketing its mobile apps that automatically detects a user’s location to fill in a delivery address and display restaurants able to deliver there.

Page 99: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

6. Data Gathering

• One of the really powerful tools available to online businesses is that they can easily track every move customers make from the moment a user lands on the site. What engaged users and what turned them off?

• Where, exactly, in the online store did a user go and what did they do when they got there?

• These are really easy questions for webmasters to answer, but good luck figuring that out in brick-and-mortar store.

• That is, unless you’re using the Wi-Fi signals emitted from smartphones in your customers pockets and purses. Tracking signals from mobile devices is opening a whole new world of analytics and data-gathering opportunities for retailers stuck in the physical world.

Page 100: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

7. Compete Anywhere

• Many brick-and-mortar retailers complain about showrooming, the practice whereby shoppers visit a physical store to inspect the goods in person all the while intending to ultimately make their purchase online, where prices are usually cheaper.

• While the traditional retailer might be on the losing end of that transaction, the customer and online retailer are winning.

• Price comparison tools are helping etailers drive additional traffic and sales. Amazon, for example, even went so far as to offer a $5 discount to shoppers who scanned items using their price comparison tool.

Page 101: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

……………

• Mobile apps are helping businesses increase revenue largely by increasing efficiency.

• Instead of advertising to broad spectrum, users can be narrowly targeted.

• Businesses can lure back customers who haven’t been in a while but are nearby.

• Customers can shop during small pockets of time that would have previously gone to waste.

• Businesses can precision-discount inventory in the last moments before it would have gone to waste.

• And all these little efficiencies are resulting in more revenue for businesses while, by and large, enhancing the overall experience for users.

Why Create Social Value?

• Businesses are motivated by profit-creation whereas social projects have to be driven towards social value creation.

• As a result most successful social entrepreneurs that face various challenges share the same philosophy or a strategic service vision, that is, a set of ideas and actions that maximizes the leverage of results over efforts directed toward well-defined targets and supported with highly-focused operating strategies.

• It is necessary for Social entrepreneurs not only to create social value for its ‘customers’ i.e. its target group but also its ‘investors’ i.e. its donors.

• Social entrepreneurs generate social capital when they create channels in which individuals can contribute to their communities and to the welfare of others

A Short Story

• Two boys walking in a forest• Come across a ferocious grizzly bear

charging towards them• The first boy calculated that the bear will

overtake them in 17.3 seconds and have no chance of escape

Page 112: Technology Entrepreneurship - Making Business Sense

The story continues

• The second boy puts on his running shoes

• The first says, you are crazy, you cannot outrun the bear

• The second says, true, but all I have to do is outrun you.
