Startups and entrepreneurs must successfully reach a series of increasing value inflection points along the Traction Gap.

Hub101

Abstract:The steps from idea to minimum viable product to moving across the traction gap to scale, require very different focus. Startups and entrepreneurs must successfully reach a series of increasing value inflection points along the Traction Gap. As startups reach each successive point, they substantially increase in value because they have demonstrated a certain amount of market acceptance and risk reduction. What is a minimal viable product and how to build one for your start-up? Timing, team, ideas, business model, and funding are the components but how to align, integrate and synergize these components is key for success. Clarity in place, context and execution of each aspect lights the path to success. This is the topic of the February 4th IEEE Tech*Talks Thought Leader, Mr. Bill Bartels’ session.
