That is why you need to be an agile startup!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Managing startups is\u00a0like having a baby that never sleeps nor stops eating! You can&#8217;t take your eyes off your new baby for a second and if you make a mistake, it could be fatal. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Such is the early days for those who start a new venture. \u00a0If you think you will launch a startup and will be an overnight success, I hate to lay it to you, but your chances are less than winning the lottery. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You need to prepare yourself and your startup to be agile and work for long hours, do mundane work that you don&#8217;t like, and multitask like crazy just to have a chance to make it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In short, you have to be an agile startup. I have listed eight important\u00a0things you\u00a0need to do to improve your chances of success in the startup world.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Remember overnight success is just a myth, most successful startups get there by hard work, great planning, and following a well-thought-out plan.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">1-Plan but be flexible<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In the startup world, you need to plan and plan well, but at the same time be flexible to modify\u00a0your plan\u00a0or come up with a totally new plan in short notice. In short, you need to be an agile startup. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When you make plans, you don&#8217;t have all the data and some of the data you have is wrong. In addition, market conditions change rapidly specialty in the tech world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">To be successful you need to plan and change it as soon as new conditions show your initial assumptions were not 100% right. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This means you and your organization need to be agile. In fact, most startups these days have realized the value of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/agile-project-management-software\/\">agile method<\/a> in planning and execution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A good place to start is to use a tool that helps you plan and develop in agile mode. There are a few\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/online-project-management-software-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online project management software<\/a>\u00a0options in the market that support agile methodology.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">2-Find a co-founder that complements your weaknesses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Nobody can do it alone, you either need money to hire the right people for key positions or use the equity in the company to attract people you need. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Try to find a co-founder who brings new talent and expertise in the areas in which you have little experience or you know you have a weakness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If you and your co-founder have the same expertise and come from the same background then one of you might be\u00a0one too many. In an agile startup, there are no overlaps in job functions, you need to be lean and agile to survive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">3-Keep an eye on the cash-burn<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Like blood in the human body, money is the blood of business. Startups because of their low cash situation and low credit are always in danger of running out of money and being forced to close down. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Keep an eye on the money you spend and only spend if you can determine the expense is 100% justified. Always keep an eye on your burn rate and make sure you have cash in hand for at least six months of operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">4-Hire the best and\u00a0make them a stakeholder in your Startup<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You need the best brains for your startup. You can&#8217;t compete in pay. Bigger and more established companies have more cash and reputation than you. The way to attract top talent is to make them a stakeholder in your company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You can use stock grants or options to give key employees a piece of the business. You can also use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ledgy.com\/blog\/pre-and-post-money-option-pools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equity management software<\/a> to manage how you distribute stock grants to new employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">One more thing about hiring, Be agile in your hiring too. Just hire people that you absolutely need in your business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The larger the organization gets in a startup, the harder it becomes to manage and get things done.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">5-Aim for\u00a0your Agile startup&#8217;s MVP<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product. Why MVP is important, you might ask? Because as a startup you need to get to market as fast as possible you can. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You don&#8217;t know what exactly the market needs and your definition of a complete or ideal product or service may not be what your customers need or are willing to pay for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">By releasing your minimum viable product\u00a0fast, you can test the market\u00a0as soon as possible\u00a0and figure out if\u00a0your ideas are valid or not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">MVP also gives you time to focus on the areas where your\u00a0customers tell you where their\u00a0pains are. After the launch of the MVP, you can start thinking about the most important features you need to add to your product to capture more market share.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">6-Kill your ego or at least leave it outside<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Ego and startups are like oil and water, they don&#8217;t mix! Leave your ego outside as soon as you enter your startup. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">There is no shame in asking for help, advice, money, and customers. Your number one job and probably the only job that counts as a founder is to make your startup a success. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Remember ego is the biggest enemy of any agile startup and you should learn to get rid of it as soon as you start your new venture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">7-Customer is\u00a0not always right<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">There is a saying &#8220;the customer is always right&#8221;. In most cases, it is true, but not always. This is especially false\u00a0when your existing customers ask for new features. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Just because one or two customers ask for certain features, it does not mean those features are\u00a0what your product needs or is missing. You know your road map, not your customers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Make sure the features you add are part of your overall road map. As an agile startup, you need to evaluate\u00a0trade-offs between features and time to market and what is absolutely needed and what is nice to have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">8-Sell, Sell soon, and Sell again<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The first day you start your company, start selling. Sell the idea, sell the potential, and sell the dream. Most entrepreneurs think they need to wait for the product or service to be ready to start selling it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That is absolutely false. Remember you need to sell your ideas to venture capital investors <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/energy-innovation-capital\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy Innovation Capital<\/span><\/a>, to potential customers, and the media. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When I started working as an engineer my second job out of college was to work for a new startup (I was the fourth employee) which was planning to make a new kind of plasma etcher. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Plasma etchers are big expensive devices used to make silicon chips. The founder and my boss <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/research\/stocks\/people\/person.asp?personId=163629&amp;privcapId=35940\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arthur W. Zafiropoulo<\/a>, sold the idea\u00a0to IBM &amp; HP one year before the product was ready to ship. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Think about it, a company only a few months old, with no products and only designs on paper selling an expensive piece of equipment to companies like IBM and HP! Art was and is a great entrepreneur who knew how startups should execute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I hope this is helpful if you are thinking about starting a new venture, just make sure it is an agile startup to increase your chances of success. Good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is nothing harder and emotionally gut-drenching than starting a new company or business.
