2) Revision of area of interest/
problem space
3) Strategic pivot

Example: At Enable Quiz, they’re startup’s doing lots of hiring
2) How will you locate them?
Example: At Enable Quiz, they’ll read tech rags to see who just got funded.
3) How will they help you transition to your next segment?
Example: At Enable Quiz, via case studies, references, and incented posts on
LinkedIn.

Is your MVP driving an
extraordinary outcome?
Or is it a vehicle to create
output as usual?
44. CASE STUDY: DROPBOX
OPPORTUNITY
Underlying demand and supporting
infrastructure ready for a great file
sharing app.
CHALLENGE
Building a great cross-platform app.
required VC funding. VC’s saw a space
with lots of existing competitors
struggling to get traction.
45. CASE STUDY: DROPBOX
Persona
Problem
Scenario
Alternatives
Value Prop.
Tom the Techie- early adopter who works on projects that require swapping a lot of files
between a shifting network of collaborators.
It’s difficult to share files between a network of collaborators, particularly if they’re: big
or numerous or change a lot.
Many existing products, but none of them super compelling and widely adopted.
Also, custom setup’s which work but are cumbersome to set up and maintain.
A file sharing service that truly feels transparent to the user across all major platforms-
OSX, iOS, Windows, etc.
What Minimum Viable Product
(MVP)?
That you can bootstrap?
That doesn’t require software at all?
46. THE ‘WIZARD OF OZ’ MVP
Result: Excellent traction
and conversion to sign-up’s.
Strong validation signal.
Created a synthetic demo
tailored for early market
(techies), promoted it, and
measured email sign-up’s.
47. EXAMPLE: ENABLE QUIZ
OPPORTUNITY
Hiring quality technical talent is critical
for many companies, but screening for
skill sets is time consuming and
awkward.
CHALLENGE
The founding team wants to bootstrap
without external funding so they need
to focus on a specific technical
domain, one that will get them strong
early traction.
48. EXAMPLE: ENABLE QUIZ
Persona(s)
Problem
Scenario
Alternatives
Value Prop.
Helen the HR Manager- responsible for sourcing and screening job candidates
Frank the Functional Manager- hiring manager responsible for acquiring and managing
talent
Helen: hard to screen for technical skills
Frank: never has enough time for recruiting and doesn’t want to be a jerk during
interviews
Helen: call references, take their word for it (on skills)
Frank: ask a few probing questions
A lightweight quizzing app that has Helen can use to do quick, effective screening.
What Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for deciding on the right first
topics?
That you can bootstrap?
That doesn’t require software at all?
49. THE ‘PRE-SALES’ MVP
Target Outcome: Informed
selection of starter topics (and
baseline on initial conversions).
Ran Google AdWord
campaigns across top
ranking technical topics,
measuring click through
rate and landing page sign-
up’s.
50. CASE STUDY: LEONID SYSTEMS
OPPORTUNITY
Major disruption and new product
opportunities among telecom
providers with introduction of voice-
over-IP and cloud communications.
IT systems need to be rethought.
CHALLENGE
As a one-person startup, Leonid had
actionable ideas but not enough
resources to execute an end-to-end
solution.
51. CASE STUDY: LEONID SYSTEMS
Persona
Problem
Scenario
Alternatives
Value Prop.
Chris the CTO- has funding and mandate to transition the business towards hosted
services; many bases to cover
IT is the most expensive, most risky area when making changes to the business.
1) Place large, risky bets on major new system upgrades. 2) Make small incremental
updates (but risk not keeping pace).
Leonid will offer modular, integration-friendly applications in two critical areas: 1)
services provisioning and 2) end user self-service portals.
What Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?
That you can bootstrap?
That doesn’t require software at all?
52. LEONID MVP’S: FROM CONSULTING TO PRODUCT
CONSULTING
‘PRODUCTIZED’
CONSULTING
PRODUCTS
Started with consulting as a
‘concierge’ vehicle to create
tactical solutions, evolving
to full-fledged product.
Result: Steady step-wise
growth with consistently
better understanding of key
customer problem
53. CASE STUDY: ZAPPOS
OPPORTUNITY
An observed problem scenario around
the difficulty of finding the right shoe
at local retail and a giant (but nascent)
market in online retail (1999).
CHALLENGE
Consumers still in the early stages of
adopting and habituating to online
retail. Founder (Nick Swinmurn)
wanted to bootstrap.
54. CASE STUDY: ZAPPOS
Persona
Problem
Scenario
Alternatives
Value Prop.
Sam the shoe-hound- knows what he wants but not where to get it.
Sam is unable to find the shoe he wants at local retailers, wasting time and getting
frustrated.
Possibly mail order or wait until he’s in a bigger market to go to the store.
Make the shoe Sam wants accessible online and make sure he has a great experience so
he’ll come back and not have to think about where to find the shoe he wants anymore.
What Minimum Viable Product
(MVP)?
That you can bootstrap?
That doesn’t require software at all?
55. CASE STUDY: ZAPPOS
Result: It worked and the
rest is history.
Photographed shoes and put
them online to observe
whether anyone bought
them.
56. CASE STUDY: SPRIG
source: as told to Lean Startup Circle, SF (Jan 2014)
Startup looking for early traction for
investors: Whole Foods (deli) meets Uber.
OPPORTUNITY
Large opportunity to resegment and
disrupt food prep. and delivery business.
Desire to move fast and learn fast.
CHALLENGE
Some existing competitors and slow
fundraising process. Food prep. and
delivery requires infrastructure.
57. CASE STUDY: SPRIG
Persona*
Problem
Scenario
Alternatives
Value Prop.
Paula the Professional- health conscious, short on time, moderate to high income,
already uses similar services like Uber.
I want to have a nice, healthy dinner with no hassle and at a price I can afford (like $12).
Going to the store or an expensive, take-out, or a slow delivery service (>20 minutes).
A healthy meal like you would order a cab (on Uber): “Dinner on Demand … Prep Time is
3 Taps … Delectable Prices” (Sprig Home Page)
What MVP?
That you can bootstrap?
That doesn’t require software at all?

OPPORTUNITY
Funded startup team rapidly iterating
through B2C concepts with lightweight

Get a few sign-up’s with
access to email and bank
account info. Review by hand

62. CASE STUDY: STEALTH PHOTO-SOCIAL STARTUP

Value Prop.
Existing poster of photos. Personas: Martha the Mom, Pat the Party Planner, Teresa the
Teen Social Butterfly
[I want to do something interesting with my photos so that my social graph rewards me
with interest and acclaim]
Manually enhance photos, use alternative enhancers/amplifiers like Instagram
[This is something users can do with photos that will generate engaging content for their
social graph]
65. USER JOURNEY: PHOTO-SOCIAL
MVP
Create the target
output by hand
(concierge style)
Does anyone care?
ASSUMPTION
User’s social
network will like

output
66. ABOUT MVP’S AND PRODUCTS IN GENERAL
(Not the other way around)
Concierge and other non-
software MVP’s can be pretty
magical.
Find 100 people that are
really into it and you can
probably grow.
67. EXERCISE: YOUR (CONCIERGE) MVP
Component
Notes
What is the experience you want to provide? - What are the preconditions and general steps?
What measurable outcome would validate
your value proposition?
- How will you know if it’s delivering value?
- This could be: a) measurably better outcomes b) activity
levels c) follow-on interest
How will you find participants and what are
the core screening/qualification criteria?
- How will you know if the subjects are relevant to your
core hypothesis?
