Innovation in Startups
Startups are different, in so many ways. Compared to established corporations, Startups tend to be more agile and innovative, they have more appetite for risk, and usually, they are more experimental in nature.
Startups are inherently innovative. In many cases, startups innovate ‘naturally’, without a system or special methods in place. Startups pursue novelty as the means of differentiation and market disruption. They use innovation to attack the ‘established’ and claim a share of the market. Startups are usually relatively small and operate as flat organizations — with fewer layers of management in comparison to the typical corporation. As such, the links with the leadership are shorter — fewer middlemen — and stronger — more direct communication. This translates to better information flow and alignment with the strategy of the company. The vision is clear to all, and usually, there is a strong, purpose-driven culture.
On the other hand, Startups have limited means - they may have limitations in terms of skills, technologies, methods and financial resources which makes innovation harder.
We help startup founders focus on their product development - shaping and implement Minimum Viable Produces - end establishing effective customer feedback loops.
We help Startup Founders to:
Properly shape their Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
Use rapid prototyping to test and validate ideas
Prepare effective Business Plans and Pitch Decks
Understand the competition and state of the art
Architect their products and select the right technologies
Expand their teams - identify the roles and structures that will help scaling up the business

The Founder’s Toolkit
Templates designed for ambitious startup founders: Business plan, Pitch deck, Patent application, MVP definition and more.
Startups innovate differently. On the one hand, there is energy, creativity, big thinking. On the other hand, innovation must happen with extremely limited resources, constraints, and strong competition from the established players. Startup founders are determined to achieve the impossible – and in many cases they are very successful in driving real innovation and disrupting the market.
Startups need a clear vision, commitment, lean methods, and fast decision-making. The Founder’s Toolkit has been specially designed along these principles. It contains a thorough Business Plan template, a Pitch deck, an easy-to-use model that simplifies financial planning and budgeting (MS Excel), a Patent application (Invention disclosure template), a template for defining your core platform or service and more.
All coming with examples. Tested with entrepreneurs.
If you are one of those ambitious startup founders save time, cut through the noise and set the basis for fast, informed decision-making.
