Building a startup from an idea to the seed stage
You’ve gotta know, right out of the gate, that building a business is really hard. If it was easy, more people would be doing it.
That’s why we’re launching a content series called Zero to Seed, where we’ll break down the steps of the entrepreneur’s journey, provide simple resources, helpful videos and much more to ensure founders give their gift to the world.
In this series we’ll explore:
Starting your Startup - Getting your Idea Off the Ground
It’s consuming - what to expect and how to cope
It’s a commitment - plan for a 5-10 year journey and execute in sprints
Building your Team - how to think about co-founders and early hires
Ideation and Conception
A lesson in early assumptions and validation
The Experimental Mindset - modern venture development is most effective when executed from a experimental mindset (thesis, experiment, results, repeat)
Designing your Business Model
Getting Going
Learn lean - build a thin slice MVP, test with your customer, and learn what to build next
Validation to Value - Validate enough to secure more funding to validate the next stages
Pitch Perfect - the art of the pitch
Right Resources, Right time
Incubators, Accelerators, Venture Studios, Communities - who can help you scale
Boost your Bootstraps - how non-dilutive funding can help
Thin Air Labs Impact Services - we help early stage ventures overcome common obstacles and get them investment ready, help them secure capital and accelerate their growth
Over the coming weeks we’ll be posting blogs, videos and more that dive deeper into the topics above. Stay tuned to our social channels or connect with us, if the suspense is too much!
Also, let us know what you want to know. What’s keeping you up at night? What are your biggest barriers to growth? We encourage you to leave questions in the comments on our posts. We’ll incorporate the answers you need in the upcoming content in a fun, engaging and impactful way so you can continue to #BuildWhatsNext.
