Building Your Landing Page

We will give you step-by-step instructions on how to create your first landing page. We will cover some of the most popular tools, show you how to collect data and iteratively improve the performance of your page. We will also share top tips from some of the most successful landing pages.

Talking to Customers as a Startup Founder

The ways your potential customers think, feel, and behave are the make or break point of your business. As a founder, you need to be constantly aware of their needs in order to validate if what you are building can help them. From there, you can develop an attractive product or service that meets their needs.

The Risky Assumptions Framework

At the earliest stage, your business idea is made up of assumptions — a collection of guesses that represent your understanding of customers, market and the ways you intend to make money. But your assumptions are not born equal: try and categorise them.

Basic Unit Economics

Understanding the costs associated with your product can help you determine pricing, break even cost and level of scale required for your business as you move along. Setting targets also keeps you ambitious whilst being realistic about the resources you have in order to build your business.

We will explore how some big brands originated from minimal starting points, and then get stuck into the pros and cons of the different ways to build an early version of a product – specifically for those who don’t have a background in software development.

How to Find Your Niche

In business, a niche is a subset of a larger market that targets a specific problem or audience. When you’re starting a business, this can be a huge advantage, as a niche will provide you with focus.

Lean Business Planning

A classic business plan is usually full of inflexible statements about how the business will work, and of inaccurate and unvalidated assumptions. That’s why we encourage you to abandon the idea of a business plan and start thinking through the lens of Lean Canvas.
