Per creare una startup bisogna…
Ecco una pratica bullet list scritta da Loic Le Meur che indica le principali attività da svolgere per un imprenditore che vuole creare una startup.
-find a space (not an idea) and execute as fast as possible
-differentiate and innovate, no copycat
-launch fast in alpha and iterate, do not wait for a perfect product
-gather an initial community and get its constant feedback to improve the product based on the feedback
-find funding fast and try not to lose too much time on it
-gather a kick ass team (top challenge: engineers, especially in the bay area…)
-scale, open as fast as possible the service
-communicate constantly with the community
-keep momentum going after initial launch
-stay on your main market or localize fast?
-manage an international team (Seesmic is already on 3 continents…)
-create a great API and gather a developer community
-integrate in major social software (see my social map post)
-reach critical mass
-find the business model and grow revenues
Non so se sono messe in ordine di importanza ma, in effetti, l’ultima volta che ho parlato con Loic di Seesmic, non mi è sembrato desse molto peso al modello di business.
