How to do this?
Assume a minimum investment of £5K to develop a crowdfunding worth prototype. Assume a minimum of £200K for industrialisation. Assume 3 years to really test the market. Decide what defines the success of a product. PR or sales.
The good news
Incubators & accelerators are growing in this space. (Nike & TechStars, BoltBoston, Highway1, Haxlr8r) Send a team to one of them. It’ll be cheaper than running it yourself. Crowdfunding is a good way to test the water with a big brand.
It’s early days.
Careful about the data though!
Education tools are increasing expectations
Kiitos. Thank you. Merci. Grazie.
