Organisational Structure. It is important for a start-up to have a clear organisational structure with well-defined responsibilities and corresponding tasks. Primarily, there should be at least someone responsible for the technology and development, someone responsible for the financial aspects and someone responsible for the management and PR – the entrepreneur and ‘face of the company’. For investors, the team behind the innovations is one of the first things they will look at, and is a crucial contribution to their trust in the future success of the company. Important features that should be present within the organisation are of course technical and enterpreneurial expertise, but also the level of commitment to the company, perseverence, and the incentive of team members to make the innovation succeed. Goals and strategy Both short and long-term goals are important when starting a company. Long-term goals will prevent a start-up from ‘muddling through’ and not creating a sustainable business model. A lack of short-term goals, however, can cause a focus on company growth and the neglecting of profits, causing many start-ups to go bankrupt. The rule of thumb is to be patient for growth, but impatient for profit. However, goals without a strategy on how to achieve them is like an empty promise to investors. A well-formulated strategy on how these goals are achievable is therefore a requirement. Also consider what exit strategies are possible, and what the preferred exit strategy would be for yourself and the investor. Success factors and timescale Having clear goals is important, but to truly be able to achieve them the identification of the key success factors is required. When are the goals actually achieved and what are the bottlenecks? This asks for an operationalisation of the goals, so that they can be measured. Along with this, a timescale of the actions and milestones for these success factors – and ultimately the goals – is an integral part of this. In other words, a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) goals and success factors contribute to a clear strategy. User needs analysis Your innovation will only succeed if there is an unmet user need that it addresses. This can be either a problem which needs to be solved, or an opportunity of a brand new type of product which will address unmet and generally unknown needs. The most innovative companies in the world are so successful because they have a very clear understanding of these unmet needs, even w...
