๐Ÿ“ƒ AI Startup Accelerator, Day 2.

Day 1 of the accelerator was all about locating the right target audience. The AI walked us through where to find the best target customers, online and offline. The AI located the best in-person group to join and also crafted a questionnaire for these early customers.

โšกRemember, the point of Module 1 is to explore the customer, the competition and to start crafting your unique value proposition.



This video explains what Module 1 is about: ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿค–ย Startup Idea: I want to create a mobile on demand sneaker cleaning business for basketball players.

This is the Day 2 roadmap ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‡

Weโ€™re going to identify current solutions (the competition) and customer pain points.



โœ…ย Task 1:

Not a problem. ๐Ÿ‘


Letโ€™s research whatโ€™s out there.


๐Ÿค–ย Al, help me with this.



Ok, letโ€™s hammer down on that a little bit more.

We know there are a lot of sneaker cleaning products.

๐Ÿค– Is anyone offering a mobile sneaker cleaning service in the United States?



โญ Ok, it looks like, yesโ€ฆ this is common.



๐Ÿค–ย Tell me each companyโ€™s unique value propositionโ€ฆ

Nice.



๐Ÿค–ย Which of these are my competition? Who is local?


Got it. Super helpful. Iโ€™m ready to move on.

๐Ÿ‘‰ We need to be thinking of how we can do something different and better than the competition.

โœ… The next task to perform:

We dove into this a little in module one, but we didnโ€™t discuss our solution just yet. Letโ€™s maybe touch on our solution a little this time.

๐Ÿค– Help me hereโ€ฆ

๐Ÿค– Ok great. Write those interview questions for me pleaseโ€ฆ

Perfect. Thanks.

Assuming weโ€™ve done this task and talked to these customersโ€ฆ we can move on to the final step on Day 2.

โœ… Task 3:



I learned that people are very open to paying for this service.

However, a key point that kept coming up was that the customers do NOT want any harsh or toxic chemicals used in cleaning.


๐Ÿค–ย What non toxic chemicals could we use? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ



Great!


โœ… Something else that was important to my early customers was an easy pickup and drop off service.

๐Ÿค– What are your thoughts on how we could accommodate that?

โšก So it seems like weโ€™re having a positive response from our target customers. They are open to the idea, they would pay for it, and they are voicing their needs.

๐Ÿค” However: It does seem like this is a competitive space. So, going forward, we need to think of the Unique Value we can bring to the customers. Weโ€™ll explore much of that in Module 2.

I think weโ€™re ready to pause here and hit Day 3 next! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ See you next week


๐Ÿค” Remember this:

โœ… Day 2 is all about researching your competition and starting to think of how to position your product or service in a unique way.

โœ… Day 2 involves finding more potential customers to talk with, and getting their feedback.



โœ…ย  Itโ€™s MUCH SMARTER to get the input of customers NOW. The OLD WAY of doing it involved launching and then getting feedback. ๐Ÿ˜Šย 


๐Ÿ’ก Remember: If you have more than one idea โ€” pick the idea where you are closest to the target audience. As you can see, youโ€™ll be talking with them a lot!


๐Ÿคฉ Have our AI create a customized roadmap and help you launch your startup idea ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‡

Thatโ€™s it for today.ย
