How to Build a Startup Business

Following is the "summarized" process that you should follow to build any Startup Business:


1. Find the Problem (idea) & think of its Solution (Product). Any innovative idea will work too.

Eg: The birth of UBER.


2. Do the Market Research & get Statistics as it will help you to take a decision.

Eg: You must not enter into the market until & unless you have something extraordinary to put in.


3. Build a PoC / Minimum Viable Product (Prototype).

Eg: Remember UBER started off with just 3 cabs in the New York City.


4. Get the Initial Traction from the MVP (Prototype) to validate.

Eg: Get the feedback and analyze it, fix it, refine it until desired acceptance is seen.


5. Work on your Product Positioning (Along with PoC / MVP) strategies.

Eg: One of the great example of an improper product positioning is the Apple's Newton PDA .


6. Build an excellent Go To Market (GTM) Strategy to put a footprint of your product.

Eg: Research how some great companies got very heavy traction initially.


7. Frame & Work on your Sales & Marketing strategies in order to gain customers and momentum.

Eg: Research why Some companies invest nothing and some invest millions $$
