Furthr delivers a range of accelerator programmes designed by our experienced team of mentors to support founders on every step of their start-up journey.
You have the seed of a great business idea. You recognise/have identified a problem that needs solving. You may or may or not have a solution in mind which will solve this problem. You need to develop the ability to analyse the problem in greater depth and to understand the core elements that will shape Minimum Viable Product (MVP) which you will design and test with key stakeholders in your potential business’s ecosystem.
From the discovery you have done in the Explore & Design phase, you will complete your MVP and refined your value proposition and potential business models. You need to develop the ability to robustly test this in market with early adopters, evaluate the markets responses to it and adjust/iterate to work towards initial product market fit and a strong V1 of your product/service. You will commence preparing for investor contact
From the validation done in the Validate & Execute phase you have validated strong initial product market fit for your product/service and have a strong V1 of your product or service.
