that offer products that are similar and close substitutes
for one another

17. Ideas -Dos and Don’ts
• Having a flow of new ideas is critical to successful
entrepreneurship but having a love affair with one idea
does not help
• It is always better to detach from emotions while
assessing an idea; sacrificing or letting go of an idea will
not be a huge problem then
• It is ok to share ideas in a forum. An opportunity is
ideally derived from an idea which is executed with a
great plan by an excellent team. So most often no one
can steal an idea

An opportunity is characterized by the following:
• There are customers willing and able to purchase your
product that either solves their problem or satisfies a
need
• A large enough number of customers exist
• The industry allows you to start and build - no monopoly,
no supplier domination
• An ability to differentiate your offering from your
competitors
• A good match with your own and your team's interests,
abilities, and network
Notes de l'éditeur
a) Micro level questions about target markets Is there a target market segment where we might enter the market in which we offer the customer clear and compelling benefits, at a price he or she is willing to pay? Are these benefits, in the customer’s minds, different from and superior in some way – better, faster, cheaper or whatever – to what’s currently offered by other solutions? How large is this segment, and how fast is it growing? Is it likely that our entry into this segment will provide us entry into other segments that we may wish to target in the future? b) Three ways to define market segments Who the customers are i.e demographic terms (age, gender, education, income etc) if it is business to business, then it will refer to the industry in which the customers do business, plus firm size and firm characteristics. Where the customers are in geographical terms? By how the customers behave (life style terms) or in business to business how the products may be used. c) The micro market test What customer pain will your offering resolve? How strong an incentive do customers have to give you their money? Will customers buy what you propose to offer? Who precisely are the customers that have the pain? Do you have detailed accurate information about who they are, where they live or do business or what they do? What benefits does your offering provide that other solutions don’t? Does the target market have the potential to grow? Are there other segments that could benefit from a related offering? Can capabilities that are transferable from one segment to another be developed? Information from secondary sources – library materials, internet, newspapers, and publications on recent industry trends should suffice to answer the following questions. The macro market test What sort of business is sought? One with potential to become a huge business, or a small lifestyle operation? This along with the answers to the following question will determine the need for venture capital. A high potential business in a huge, rapidly growing market will require venture capital whereas a small lifestyle operation in a niche market will not need any. Trends can be economic, demographic, socio cultural, technological, regulatory or natural trends can be identified
