40. B-School Results?
• U.S. corporations went from local to national
then international
•Cadre of experienced managers to match
• Experts on finance and growth (Dupont/GM)
B-Schools made the 20th Century
the American business century
42. Business School Limitations
•Most Professors consult for large corporations
• Most believe startups are just smaller versions of
large companies
• Most B-school entrepreneurship programs are
side-shows
44. Incubators
a Reaction to the lack of Practical
University Entrepreneurship
• 1959 Josephy Mancuso - Batavia Industrial Ctr.
• 1996 IdeaLab
•2005 Y-Combinator
•2011 100+ Incubators world-wide
45. Startup Incubators
•Hands-on (experience vs. theory)
• Goal: create a company and jobs
• Full-time residential, stipend-based program
• Curriculum: product development + best practices
47. Startups Are Not Smaller Versions
of Large Companies
Large Companies Execute Known
Business Models
48. Startups Are Not Smaller Versions
of Large Companies
Startups Search for Unknown
Business Models
49. E-School
•Complete curriculum with Hands-on emphasis
• Goal: methodology for startup creation
• Can be taught anywhere
- University
- Incubator
- Remotely
• Curriculum: about the search for a business model

73. The Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
• Smallest feature set that gets you the most …
- orders, learning, feedback, failure…
74. The Pivot
•The heart of Customer Development
•Iteration without crisis
•Fast, agile and opportunistic
75. Pivot Cycle Time Matters
•Speed of cycle minimizes cash needs
•Minimum feature set speeds up cycle time
• Near instantaneous customer feedback
drives feature set

8 Weeks From an Idea to a Business
80. Pivot Example
Robotic Weeding
Talked 75 Customers in 8 Weeks
82. 20 interviews, 6 site visits…
We got OUR Boots dirty
Weeding
Visited two farms in Salinas Valley to better understand problem
Interviewed:
• Bolthouse Farms, Large Agri-Industry in Bakersfield
• White Farms, Large Peanut farmer in Georgia
• REFCO Farms, large grower in Salinas Valley
• Rincon Farms, large grower in Salinas Valley
• Small Organic Corn/Soy grower in Nebraska
• Heirloom Organics, small owner/operator, Santa Cruz Mts
• Two small organic farmers at farmers market
• Ag Services of Salinas, Fertilizer applicator
Mowing
Interviewed:
• Golf: Stanford Golf course
• Parks: Stanford Grounds Supervisor, head of maintenance and
lead operator (has crew of 6)
• Toro dealer (large mower manufacturer)
• User of back-yard mowing system
• Maintenance Services for City of Los Altos
• Colony Landscaping (Mowing service for stadiums)
83. Business Plan
Autonomous Vehicles for Mowing & Weeding
- Innovation Dealers sell, Mowing
- Dealers - Customer We reduce installs and - Owners of
(Mowing and Education operating cost supports customer public or
Ag) - Dealer training - Labor reduction commercially
- Vehicle OEMs - Better Co. trains dealers, used green
(John Deere, utilization of supports dealers spaces (e.g. golf
Toro, Jacobsen, assets (eg mow or courses)
etc) weed at nights) - Landscaping
Engineers on - Improved - Mowing
service provider
- Research labs Autonomous performance (less Dealers
vehicles, GPS, rework, food - Ag Dealers Weeding
path-planning safety) - Farmers with
manual weeding
operations
Dealer discount Asset sale
COGS seek a 50-60% Gross Margin Our revenue stream derives from selling the
Heavy R&D investment equipment
84. Found weeding in organic crops is HUGE
problem; 50 - 75% of costs
Crews of 100s-1000
Back-breaking task
(Ilegal) labor harder to get
1-5 weedings per year/field
$250-3,500 per acre and
increasing
Food contamination risk
85. Decision to make – mowing vs weeding
Application If ROI is < 1 Labor costs Autonomous TAM
yr they will significant? would solve
buy problem?
Mowing of Yes. Yes Yes Adjusted up to
Professionally xxx
large fields run
organizations
Weeding in Agri Industry: YES! for TAM increased
YES! organic crops Not necessarily to $2.6 B (Total
Agriculture organic)
Large They are Key need is
Growers: Yes spending weed vs. crop Target Market
$500/ac! differentiation (organic
Small specialty)
Growers: No 162 M/yr
18%/yr growth
86. Autonomous vehiclesWEEDING
- Innovation Dealers sell, - Low density
- Ag Dealers - Customer We reduce installs and vegetable
- Ag Service Education operating cost supports customer growers
providers - Dealer training - Labor reduction - High density
(100 to 1) Co. trains dealers, vegetable
- Research labs - Reduced risk of supports dealers growers

• 10+ interviews at show
– Everyone confirmed the need
– Robocrop, UK based, crude

• Revenue Stream
– Mid to small growers prefer a

– Large growers prefer to buy, but
OK with service until technology
is proven
– Charging for labor cost saved is
OK, as we provide other benefits
(food safety, labor availability)
