our brain quick de-tour

limbic brains feelings “why” and “how”
pursuit of “what” high potential of failure on the usual
front: capital, market, people
pursuit of the “why” higher likelihood of success
quick de-tour why is there so much focus on the
team when going for funding …
teams that tall a “why” story … “touch the heart”
let talk a bit about “why” why do we do
what we do
“why” is about people business is about people
we relate to things similar to us the regional example
a business needs a personality be genuine, be yourself, tell
your story
Apple think different
Microsoft where do you want to go today …
Exercise write down your “why”
“why” • define your why, the reason why you started
your business • something people should relate to when they think of your business • make it simple, concise, one to two sentences
share your “why” to the rest of the teams
break
that grownup thing aka a business model
aka an untested assumption used to be a dusted piece
of paper in the drawer for the banker who never read it
Business Model Canvas the “how”
None
explore business models as a creative process doodle on a
napkin
get into the habit of exploring throw away the obvious
ones
let’s do an example how about coffee
The Cafe
None
break

Starbucks
None
starting to see the canvas evolve? creativity starts on a
piece of paper :)
your turn exercise time
your business • draw a canvas for your business •
don’t overthink things • don’t spend more than 20min on it
share your canvas to the rest of the teams
let’s play again what constraint would you like? free, global,
direct sales, …
your business again • apply the constraint to your business
• draw a canvas for your new business • don’t overthink things • don’t spend more than 20min on it
share your canvas to the rest of the teams
