The duo emphasizes the significance of securing initial customer commitments and also sheds light on the critical considerations for corporates eyeing acquisitions. Engage in a conversation rich with strategies, insights, and invaluable advice that has the potential to transform your perspective on product development and validation. About the Guest Maarten began his entrepreneurial adventure at 19 in the music scene. After dodging some iffy record deals, he thought, "I can do better!" and launched his first venture. He quickly noticed that the way entrepreneurship was taught was flawed. So, six years ago, Maarten founded BW Ventures. Since then, he's guided over 200 startups, helping them find solid business models. Yet, even with a plan, many still struggle to secure their first investment. SHOW NOTES: [1:59] Corporate Innovation vs Startups: Maarten discusses the distinct ways startups and corporations approach innovation. [6:09] Decision-making in Innovation: Companies face dilemmas in building new solutions, buying them, or establishing partnerships.

[59:28] Meeting Stakeholder Expectations: Stakeholders often prioritize visible progress over finalized contracts. [61:41] Acquisition Strategy: Companies need clarity on their strategy when considering acquisitions. Quotes from Maarten: "Showing progress and showing what works and doesn't work is more valuable than just getting that perfect business case out." "People are most of the times too scared to build a super big business case because they think decision makers are going to ask for that. But what's more important is showing progress and understanding what you're doing." Books We Mentioned: 1. Pep Guardiola: Another Way of Winning: The Biography 2.

Tom and Aram discuss how and why to build an advisory council. They discuss how to ask questions people want to answer, how getting close to your users makes work more meaningful for your team, and why you should never build a product alone. They also explore why you shouldn’t only think about who your customer is and what they need - but who their customers are and what their objectives are. About Tom O’Neill Tom is the Founder and CEO of Parallax. He built a stellar product by first building an advisory council because he believes that great products are never built solo, they’re created by great teams. Tom is also the co-founder of Frebella and was previously the CEO of The Nerdery.
