Unlocking Sustainable Growth Through Customer Development
Why Customer Development Matters
Steve Blank revolutionized startup growth with his Customer Development process. Go beyond just product creation with the 4 phases that can transform your startup journey.
1. Customer Discovery
Don't guess. Discover real business needs by engaging directly with potential early adopters.
Establishing hypotheses about the business model, customers, and market, then testing these hypotheses in face-to-face or direct interactions with potential customers.
2. Customer Validation
Ensure your product isn't just liked, but cherished. Find the magic product-market fit.
Validating the business model based on the feedback received from potential customers. At this stage, it's determined if there's a product-market fit.
3. Customer Creation
It's one thing to build; it's another to scale. Drive genuine demand and see your user base multiply.
If a product-market fit is established, the focus shifts to driving customer adoption, creating end-user demand, and scaling the business.
4. Company Building
It's time to grow! Build a startup that's not just functional but ready to soar.
Transitioning from a startup to a company that's ready to scale. This phase involves building organizational structures and scaling all company operations.
