Business Start Ups.


​Many entrepreneurs, operating in the fog of uncertainty, worry that exploration will delay commercialization. They go, therefore, with the first practical strategy that comes to mind, deriding the deliberation and planning that accompany careful strategizing. As Richard Branson has famously claimed,"In the end you [have] to say, 'Screw it, just do it' and get on and try it."

Starting A New Business In Oregon?

There are times when that approach works, of course. But usually, such ad hoc experimentation should be avoided, even when it requires few resources. Entrepreneurs who commit to the first promising route they see leave their start- ups vulnerable to competitors that take a less obvious but ultimately more powerful route to commercialization and customers.

After working with and studying hundreds of start-ups over the past 30 years, we have developed a framework, that allows company founders to approach the critical choices they face in a practical and clarifying way. It delineates four generic go-to-market strategies they should consider as they move from an idea to the launch stage, each of which offers a distinct way for the venture to create and capture value.
