Thursday, 13 February

08:00 → 18:00 Work

Prepare presentation for Friday. To include in the presentation:

• Problem you are solving and solution
• Market segment/size
• Who are your customers? Who are your users? Market/customer segmentation
• Business model and strategy (recommendations: is this something that can be solved by a start-up?)
• Team needed for a start-up
• Recommendations: next steps. What needs to be figured out? What are the challenges ahead?

The idea of the presentation is to give a realistic view of your findings, and not a glory picture of your case. The goal is to present all the relevant aspects of your business case, to be able to evaluate whether it is desirable to start a company to solve this problem.

15:00 → 15:01 Hand in short written report

Short written report, maximum 3 pages. This will include your main findings:

• What problem are you solving?
• How are you solving it?
• Who are your customers?
• General thoughts on market, business model and economic potential
