Start the Accelerator

Don't waste any more time thinking about your idea. Start validating it.

You could do a million things when you have an idea and it's easy to get trapped and overwhelmed. Let DSCVRY be your map and guide through the hardest steps of a building a business.

✏️

1. Get your idea out of your head

Stop thinking and planning. Who needs your help, what do they need your help with, and how do they do that now?

🙏

2. Find people to talk with you

Find people that fit your target customer segment, build a list of them, and ask them to talk with you.

👂

3. Listen to their problems

Ask people to tell you stories about real things that they've done. What did they do, how and why did they do it, and what problems did they have doing it?

🤬

4. Measure if those problems need solving

Not all problems need a solution. Not all solutions can become a business. You need data to see which paths are worth another step.

🚦

5. Go. Pivot. Stop.

If your original idea solves a viable problem, keep going. If you find a bigger problem, solve that one instead. Don't like doing this? Stop and move onto something you do.

🚀

Everything else comes after

Make an MVP? Do it after. Register a legal entity? After. Fill out a Lean Canvas? After. Everything else comes next if you can find a problem that needs a solution.

DSCVRY is how you use an idea to uncover painful problems that need new solutions

1. Break down any idea

Start by breaking an idea into reusable pieces like customer segments, problems, and existing solutions

2. Define target customer segments

Add multiple customer segments using descriptor and demographic tags

3. Find and reach out to contacts

Fill each segment with real people and manage outreach with editable templates

4. Uncover problems with interviews

Use auto-generated interview guides to talk with people about real problems an identify the most prevalent themes

5. Measure problems with surveys

Turn problems into auto-generate surveys to collect data about how painful those problems are

6. Analyze rich opportunity data

Responses are summarized into actionable apples-to-apples opportunity and start experimenting on solving the most painful problem
