Market sizing and basic financial modelling to check commercial opportunity is bigger than R100 million
Customer interviews, prototype creation and testing to determine whether the solution is a fit for the customer problem
Quantitative experiments to validate customer acquisition cost and market size while understanding the top of the product funnel and channels to create a Go to Market Strategy
Leverage the findings from the previous phase to refine the financial model and scout for potential tech partners that can deliver the solution quickly with an existing solution
Customer interviews, prototype creation and testing to determine whether the solution is a fit for the customer problem in a new market or region.

The Venture Studios process is a combination of tools from Google Design Sprints, Lean Startup, Design Thinking, Accelerator material and other best practices that our team has applied in the past to build international startups.
Companies like Google, Booking.com and Amazon have shown that quick idea validation through experiments is critical to shaping a valuable product.
While Design Thinking has become a buzzword, the principles that apply to customer driven Product Development are used by some of the worlds biggest startups to ensure that they understand their customers.
Simple metrics like Average Revenue Per User and Customer Acquisition Cost can be critical to ensuring that your product and distribution channels are a good fit. Through an understanding of the market size, costs and revenue opportunities, financial viability of the business model can be validated before the technology is built.
