The platform at a glance

As the backbone of the programme, the plaftorm offers a gamified and step by step experience that allows entrepreneurs to create their business plans and validate their model. Far from theory, the pedagogy pushes you to formulate your ideas and answer the tough questions.

It invites you to “get out there”, talk to people, research, and validate your ideas. Your mentor will be there for you every week to support you by challenging assumptions and offering a fresh perspective.

Value Proposition

Make sure you define your true value. Your Value Proposition is the #1 thing that explains why people would be interested in your offer. It’s a promise that clearly communicates the benefits of your product or service

  • Get to the root of the problems you’re trying to solve

  • Identify and group your customers into segments

  • Do customer discovery interviews and research

  • Estimate your market size and build a market opportunity graph

  • Write concrete value proposition statements

Competition Map

Understanding your competitors is essential to finding your spot in the market. Think you don’t have much competition? Think again! Take on new perspectives and build a Competition Map that will clearly show where you stand.

  • Define the attributes that you and other solutions compete on

  • Identify competitors you didn’t know you had

  • See how you stand out among the crowd

  • Discover where you can improve your offering 

Stakeholder Map

Building a company 100% by yourself is almost impossible. Every day you’ll decide: should I do it myself? Delegate? Outsource? Building relationships with your partners, supporters, suppliers and, of course, a great team is key.

  • Identify all different types of partners and collaborators

  • Understand the possible value exchange you can have with each one

  • Decide what you should do in-house and what you should let others do

  • Explore your distribution channel options and choose the best ones

  • Create a map of the ecosystem of partners around your business

Business Model & Marketing

How do you plan to sustain your business and capture your customers’ attention? We’ll help you understand what business model is right for you and start planning your marketing activities.

  • Learn about different business models

  • See how your business model could (or should) differ per customer segment

  • Use design thinking to choose the best one(s) for you

  • Understand the basics of a marketing funnel and create your own

  • Estimate your cost to acquire a customer

Pricing & Business Viability

Are you leaving money on the table by being too shy with prices, or overcharging and losing business opportunities? We’ll help you figure it out by setting your first price point and determining a pricing strategy.

  • Learn about different pricing strategies and choose yours

  • Compare your competitors’ price points and strategies

  • Do customer discovery to understand their willingness to pay

  • Learn and use a pricing methodology to determine a price point

  • Estimate your customers’ lifetime value

Financial Projections

We make it easy even if you’re allergic to numbers. Get a step-by-step handle on all of your financial needs. Month by month, year by year, you’ll be able to estimate your expenses and revenue as you start and build your company.

  • Determine the funds you’ll need to launch

  • Project the expenses you’ll have in your first years of operation

  • Plan for the team you’ll need and their salaries as you grow

  • Understand the sales targets you’ll need to reach

  • Account for what it costs you to produce your product or service

Impact Plan

Changing the world we live in? Building an Impact Plan will help you clarify what system you’re a part of and how you’re trying to influence it. You will also measure the impact you’re actually having on your customers, certain beneficiaries, your sector, or even the world.

  • Map the system you work within and the elements that govern it

  • Show how you want to change what’s happening within it

  • Craft your mission and vision statements

  • Identify if you are working on any of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

  • Define how you will measure your impact and track results

Growth Plan

Once you start your business, you’ll have to constantly adjust priorities to make sure you’re spending your time on the right things. Having solid, measurable objectives is a great way to align with your team and stay on track.

  • Put your long term goals in writing and draft a plan to reach them

  • Identify your company’s values

  • Determine the KPIs you’ll track overtime (Key Performance Indicators)

  • Set milestones to help you reach your goals

  • Identify and plan for future risks

Now you have a go-to-market plan and have the skills needed to take on any challenge!
