Our Summary* of requirements:
- Think of ways to improve a product, service, or technology, or create something entirely new (inspired by something online, talk to an entrepreneur, OR brainstorm as a team).
- Create a customer profile from gathering information about who would most likely use or buy your product, service, or technology (research customers online, conduct surveys, OR brainstorm in small groups).
- Conduct market research to identify what makes your idea unique, and use that insight to improve your prototype (research industry trends AND create a timeline for you idea to evolve in 2, 5, and 10 years, speak with 2 business owners/entrepreneurial leaders for feedback, OR hold a focus group).
- Create a business model for how you will produce your product, operate your business, identify your customers, make money, AND reach your goals (research online, work with a mentor, OR create two models AND compare).
