I build MVPs and start Startups. Here on v01.io I am offering services and consulting for MVPs, prototyping
and startup
strategy.
You should sign up for the newsletter, if you are generally
interested in MVP building, startup
strategy design or updates to
my own service initiatives.
Consulting
CUSTOMER DEVELOPMENT - From the idea to the problem/solution fit:
If a business idea is to be tested without great risk and transformed into reality, a lean methodology is
recommended.
This requires viable business hypotheses and problem interviews with customers in order to check whether
customers
actually have the problem that is to be solved.
Once the problem has been validated, the solution must also be validated. Solution interviews and the
presentation of
the solution serve as a demo to validate it to customers and to test the pricing.
I can perform these steps by order. In practice, however, it has been shown that it makes sense to carry out or
moderate these steps together with the founder / founding team.
MVP - Development of an MVP for Product/Market Fit:
If the problem solution is clear and should be tested cost-effectively, I build and operate the corresponding
Minimum
Viable Product.
If necessary, we will hold a workshop together in advance to develop the feature set. We also work together to
develop KPIs for Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue and Referrals, which are then tracked.
In this way, a first feeling for the viability of a business model is created without much effort.
Qualitative MVP interviews with users also lead to a deeper understanding of the market and thus to a better
product
launch.
LAUNCH - Market entry and development of version 1.0.:
If a CTO / technical co-founder is needed, then I develop the product and bring it to market.
I develop the technical vision of the company, manage the product development (Customer Development + MVP),
build
the
launch version myself and ensure the operation.
I then set up the team and continue to accompany the company as a sparring partner on the Advisory Board.
SCALE - Continuous Prototyping from Version 1 to Version N:
In order to keep the velocity of a start-up high, new features or neighbouring market potentials can be explored
in
addition to an existing core product.
Here I can cover the complete prototyping stack for customer development and MVP development parallel to an
already
existing technology / product team.
After a successful initiative I help the team to integrate it into the existing product.
INDIVIDUAL CONSULTING - leadership of an existing team, or as independent innovation
initiative:
I have been very intensively involved with all the lean methods and books about product development. I wanted to
know everything and design the ultimate prototype process. Unfortunately this was not possible. However, it was
possible to arrange and categorize all methods and tools in this area on a meta-view.
I am currently working on a software service to formulate refutable business hypotheses and to validate them
automatically by means of experiments.
Currently the product is still under development, updates are regularly available in the newsletter.
The goal is to always build the next v01. In software and in life. Zen philosophy puts it like: Nothing exists in
its present form or color except in this moment. A beginners mind is free of any possessions, as it knows that
all is in a state of fluid change.
