Do you want to sell a product for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world? That’s a question you should ask yourself first to be a successful technopreneur.
Technopreneurs chase the vision, not the money. They sell more than a product. For instance, Adobe didn’t just sell us Acrobat, rather they changed our whole way of working with digital documents. The best companies are not started by people who want to ‘be an entrepreneur’ but those who are knowledgeable and passionate about a specific problem and are driven to solve it.
Before you start hustling and look for the best startup advice from podcasts or books or social media, you need to imbibe in yourself certain qualities that would help you be a successful technopreneur.
Here are AVCOE’s top three habits that every technopreneur should have to rapidly scale their tech startup:
- Minimizing it to the core features
Do you know what’s common between Facebook and Twitter? They are both examples of companies that started with Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) which ultimately helped them become tech giants. The whole idea is to start with minimizing your concept to just one or two core features- the features that you believe will help solve users’ problems most effectively. Typically, users are not going to adopt every features a software offers but only those which actually help solve their problems.
- Being adaptable
The whole idea of a startup is to find out what particular solutions your consumer is exactly looking for. So you need to adapt yourself every time to a new and a more successful path. Successful technopreneurs tackle these unfamiliar circumstances on a regular basis. You might not know initially what to do, but the key is to persist and sustain until you find the answers. Delivering a better and improved version of your product, based on your customers’ expectations is the key to be a successful technopreneur.
- Being customer-centric
Successful technopreneurs realize that great ideas do not mean anything if they do not they create an amazing experience around them. And they are always to adapt and change when a customer feedback/response is mandating a new direction. Observe, shape, and perform according to customers’ feedback and continue refining your startup journey.
