<h3>Around 70% of startups started with an idea which is significantly different from the end-product which brought about their success. Take for instance Flickr (started as a social gaming company), Groupon (started as an activist site) or YouTube (stated as a video dating site). Also at <a href="http://www.startupbootcamp.org/" target="_blank">Startupbootcamp</a> such &#8220;pivoting&#8221; is clearly visible. One of the startup teams &#8211; <a href="http://www.startupbootcamp.org/europeans-cities/amsterdam/startups-amsterdam/" target="_blank">Viewsy</a> &#8211; had the chance to pitch their product to two very renowned Dutch (operating internationally) companies. The pitch was strong but the reaction even stronger: &#8220;This is the Holy Grail for our company&#8221;, exclaimed one of the board members. &#8220;When can we start?&#8221;, asked another. Patrick&#8217;s motto is that you can never start early enough when it comes to <em>talking with the market</em>. You might surprise yourself how many people are willing to give you &#8220;free advice&#8221; about development of your product within the market.<br />
<strong>&#8220;Go outside, get in touch with experts and clients before you fully design your product or service&#8221;</strong>, concludes Patrick.</h3>

<br />
Ruud Hendriks en Patrick de Zeeuw, initiatiefnemers van Startupbootcamp, doen de komende maanden voor NUzakelijk om beurten verslag van hun ervaringen met techstarters. In deze vierde aflevering: briljante ideeën blijken vaak waardeloos.<br />
<br />
<em>Door Patrick de Zeeuw</em><br />
<br />
“Do more faster”, is het motto bij Startupbootcamp, en dat lijkt tot op heden goed te werken. De tien teams die deelnemen aan Startupbootcamp Amsterdam hebben in de eerste vier weken van het programma enorme stappen gemaakt. Sommige startups geven aan in vier weken meer gedaan te hebben dan normaliter in zes maanden.<br />
Ik zie dat veel startende ondernemers &#8211; ik heb zelf ook zo nu en dan die fout gemaakt &#8211; denken een briljant idee te hebben. Dit idee wordt dan in een periode van een aantal maanden, in het ergste geval meer dan een jaar, gebouwd zonder een goed beeld van de toegevoegde waarde of markt voor hun fantastische product.<br />
Vaak geven deze ondernemers aan dat ze hun product niet durven te toetsen bij klanten of andere deskundigen uit angst dat ‘de markt’ hun idee zal kopiëren. De kans dat dit gebeurt is echter veel kleiner dan de kans dat je een product ontwikkelt waar geen markt voor is.<br />
<br />
<strong>Waardeloos</strong><br />
Neem van mij aan: Je idee is veelal waardeloos en meestal zijn je aannames volledig fout. Veel succesvolle startups, zo&#8217;n 70 procent, zijn ooit begonnen met een idee dat volledig anders is dan het uiteindelijke product waarmee de successen behaald werden.<br />
Aansprekende voorbeelden zijn Flickr, Youtube en Groupon. Flickr begon ooit als social gaming-bedrijf, Groupon als sociale activisten-site Thepoint.com en Youtube werd bedacht als video dating-site.<br />
<br />
<strong>Kantelen</strong><br />
Ook bij Startupbootcamp is dit proces van &#8216;kantelen&#8217; (pivotting) duidelijk zichtbaar. Meer dan de helft van de teams heeft een pivot gemaakt. Bij een pivot pas je het product of businessmodel aan op basis van hetgeen je hebt geleerd tijdens onder andere gesprekken met ‘de markt’.<br />
Een van de belangrijkste voordelen die je als startup hebt, is dat je een groot aantal zaken sneller kunt doen dan bedrijven die uit de startup fase zijn. Je kunt veel sneller leren, besluiten nemen en zaken laten vallen die niet lijken te werken.<br />
Do more faster begint met het valideren (en dus leren) dat je op het goede spoor zit, er een markt voor je product is en partijen bereid zijn om dit product van je af te nemen. Dit leerproces moet je heel snel doorlopen.<br />
<br />
<strong>Partners</strong><br />
Voordeel van het praten met potentiële klanten is dat deze klanten wellicht je eerste pilotpartners worden. Veel grote ondernemingen komen niet of nauwelijks toe aan innovatie. Indien een jonge ondernemer een fantastisch concept presenteert, zijn grote ondernemingen vaak bereid deze ondernemers een kans te geven.<br />
Ook dit heb ik zelf een aantal keer meegemaakt, toen we als kleine club in een pitch zaten tegen onze voormalige werkgever Endemol. Wij wonnen. De gunfactor voor jonge zeer bevlogen ondernemers is vaak erg hoog.<br />
<br />
<strong>Viewsy</strong><br />
Vorige week lieten we één van onze start-ups, Viewsy.com, bedrijf en product presenteren aan twee zeer gerenommeerde Nederlandse internationaal opererende bedrijven.<br />
De pitch was sterk, het commentaar van de corporate nog sterker. “Dit de heilige graal voor ons bedrijf”, zei een van de directieleden. “Wanneer kunnen we starten?”, vroeg een ander.<br />
Mijn motto is dat je niet vroeg genoeg kunt beginnen om met de markt te praten. Je zult je verbazen hoeveel mensen bereid zijn om je ‘gratis’ advies te geven of hun visie om de markt(ontwikkeling) te schetsen. Dus ga naar buiten, zoek contact met experts en praat met klanten voordat je je product of dienst ontwikkelen.<br />
Patrick de Zeeuw is samen met Ruud Hendriks initiatiefnemer van het tech accelerator-programma Startupbootcamp Amsterdam en zij zijn medeoprichters van Startupbootcamp Europe</p>

<em>Eoghan Jennings, MD, Startupbootcamp Dublin (left), Martin Kelly, IBM Venture Capital Group, Partner (Right)</em></p>
<p><br/>  </p>
<h3><em>How to Dance with Elephants</h3>
<p></em><br />
This is a good way for any startup to think about working with a large corporate.  <a href="http://www.ibm.com/us/en/" title="IBM">IBM</a> for example has 415,000 employees spanning all major markets and industries.  How can an entrepreneur engage in a meaningful way and avoid wasting precious time?  Our team helps startups navigate big blue and helps IBM harness the energy of entrepreneurs.   For the last 6 years I have been working with start-ups trying to understand how to do this better. </p>
<h2>Changes to the VC Industry</h2>
<p><a href="http://www-304.ibm.com/businesscenter/venturedevelopment/us/en/" title="IBM Venture Capital">IBM Venture Capital</a> was established 12 years ago.  We are investors in many of the leading VC firms around the world.  We also have good relations with the top VC firms around  the world even those we are not direct investors in. The model has served us well.  Over the last couple of years however we started to notice some major changes in the VC industry.  The costs of building a software business dropped dramatically.  At the same time a number of new players including super angels, micro VC firms and accelerators entered the scene.  It was now possible to prove a business model on very low amount of capital.  Money were we told was not the scarce resource.  The biggest challenge for many of the entrepreneurs was access to experienced mentors who had the battle scares of building a great company.  The more we talked with entrepreneurs the more we validated that we could support them by connecting them with investors and experienced mentors.  In response to these changes we launched a pilot program called <a href="http://ibmsmartcamp.com/" title="IBM Smart Camp">SmartCamp</a> in Dublin in Oct 2009.   </p>
<h2>SmartCamp and Startupbootcamp in Dublin</h2>
<p>It is hard to believe that in just over two years SmartCamp has expanded from a pilot in Dublin to a global program.  Our hope was to help start-ups bring their new businesses to the international marketplace, and with the support of our partners, companies have received significant press in Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Bloomberg, and raised over $50M in venture capital, with many going on to work closely with IBM and expand their businesses.  In addition, the program is now live in 15 countries and we are very proud of the network of over 400 experienced mentors who give up their time to work with these companies. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.startupbootcamp.org" title="Startupbootcamp">Startupbootcamp</a> has been our key partner across Europe.  They are unique in that the <a href="http://www.startupbootcamp.org/details/about-us/" title="Startupbootcamp Founders">founders</a>, Alex, Carsten, Eoghan, Patrick and Ruud have all experienced the highs and lows of a start-up.  They have been there themselves &#8211; not just as investors but actually in the hot seat.  And although they are all Europeans have global ambitions to support a new bred of entrepreneurs.  We are delighted that <a href="http://www.startupbootcamp.org/dublin" title="Startupbootcamp Dublin">Dublin</a> is now one of the key locations for Startupbootcamp. </p>
<h2>The Finale: Investor Demo Day</h2>
<p>Today is the end of almost two years work.  This journey to attract the best international start-ups to Dublin started in the nuclear winter of 2010.  At the time, media coverage of the economic outlook was bleak and both the Irish and International press papers talked about mass migration like the 1980&#8242;s.  This was 6 months before the IMF came to Dublin to negotiate a bailout. </p>
<p>A group from the investment community, together with entrepreneurs and public servants met to figure out what practical things could be done by our group to turn the tide.  One person stood up and took up the challenge of making words a reality.  That person was <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/eoghan-jennings" title="Eoghan Jennings">Eoghan Jennings</a> who had recently returned to Ireland from Germany.  This is a community effort for sure but it needed one person to bring it together.  The Factory located in Barrow St is now a magnet for the entire Dublin startup scene.   </p>
<p>Today amazing <a href="http://www.startupbootcamp.org/europeans-cities/dublin/2012-startups/" title="Startupbootcamp Dublin">teams</a> from Brazil, China, US, Poland, Romania, and Lithuania will join with some of our best local talent.  They will meet investors from US, UK, Brazil, Switzerland, Holland, Germany, Turkey and beyond.  In addition to the international dimension, I&#8217;m really excited to find start-ups who are solving real problems.  Every team you&#8217;ll see addresses big markets and major challenges including car safety, food tracability, healthcare and travel in China to name a few.  The types of problems that our customers are interested in.  This is the reason we signed on as a sponsor.</p>
<p>This <a href="http://www.startupbootcamp.org" title="startup accelerator">accelerator</a> is unique in focusing beyond pure consumer internet and getting real engagement with the local multinational community.  We are totally dependent on the support of our partners.  We realize that for the planet to become smarter we need a global network of ecosystems of entrepreneurs and investors – all focused on the same prize of making the world work better. </p>
<p>Thank you Startupbootcamp. </p>
