VUKA Works

Thank you Darja Ogorodnik for a lively discussion and your passion for Business Design! For any startup trying to round out and clarify their business idea and prepare to submit their proposition to the investor pipeline on Dealum (or in getting your story straight for any pitch), here's a conversation on what to think about and how Business Design can help you build your business idea. When we spoke about VUKA Works, the key question was: Would you rather be challenged by a software platform (that won't judge you), or by an investor that will judge whether you are worthy of their money? ; ) #startup #businessidea #investor #raisingcapital #newventure #businessdesign #pitch #angelinvestor #founder

This one one of the many key takeaways from a recent Bloom Burton & Co. healthcare investment conference. To quote one of the esteemed investor panelists: "It's never Plan A that gets you to your goal. It might not even be Plan B or C. So don't get locked into Plan A." The marketplace conditions and players are always shifting, and the new venture journey is one of continual learning and course correction. No matter what the nature of your business, it's important to be intellectually and tactically agile - balancing your determination to stay the course, with keeping an open mind to reconsidering your game plan based on learning and context. All of the remarkable new ventures that presented at the conference pivoted along their path to success! #healthcareinnovation #heatlhcareinvestment #newventures #startup #pivot #businessdesign #vukaworks #vuka #startuplearning #innovation #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurs

Tip #3 from the Activation section of the VUKA Business Design Accelerator: Course correct when needed. The journey never ends. You will continually adjust your business idea and your game plan. It’s important to pause and reflect – and be ready to ‘pivot’ if it will help you make your core idea an even bigger hit in the marketplace.

Tip #1 from the Activation section of the VUKA Business Design Accelerator: Test and validate. Measured business experiments will help you de-risk your business idea. Be explicit about what assumptions you are least sure of. You’ll need to test those assumptions and ultimately validate the assumptions that are critical to your business success.

Every innovator wants to see their ideas come to life and make the most impact. That calls for a clearly defined business model to deliver, scale and sustain your idea, and an advantage that will give you runway in the market. Is your idea worth spending time, money and energy on?

Tip #3 from the Business section of the VUKA Business Design Accelerator: Carve out an advantage. There’s no sense in going down a path if you really don’t have some inherent advantage. You need to honestly ask: Are we uniquely capable of delivering this business idea? No one (including you) should invest time and money into something that others can easily replicate.
