Intro: Over the last 50 years engineers have moved from building computers out of individual transistors to building with prepackaged logic gates. Then they adopted standard microprocessors (e.g. x86, ARM.) At the same time every computer company was writing its own operating system. Soon standard operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux) emerged. In the last decade open source software (e.g LAMP) emerged for building web servers. Each time a standard solution emerged, innovation didn’t stop. It just allowed new innovation to begin at a higher level.
In this post I want offer a solution stack for Entrepreneurship. It’s the combination of Business Model Design and Customer Development.
My take: Interesting evolution of Business Model Canvas from one of my references: the book Business Model Generation
