What is a startup?

Startup company. (2016, March 16). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 14:51, March 17, 2016, from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Startup_company&oldid=710354466

Phase 1

Developing the idea

Make a prototype

Launch the prototype

We were keen to test things out straight away although we knew we were launching at the wrong time and without enough publicity. But despite everything people still came

Look for funding

We were able to clearly demonstrate a gap in the market and show potential worth investing in

Find early partners

We didn’t want this to just be a library thing. Having an initial external partner made things feel exciting and big!

Develop the prototype

Keep developing, changing & detangling things until you’re ready to launch the next phase

Phase 2

No brains!

Communication

We developed a clear communication plan to ensure all stakeholders were informed

Buy-in

We needed buy-in from across the whole library service at all levels
