Should Startups Reinvent or Refine? 🚀 Is chasing groundbreaking innovation always the best path for startups? Let's challenge this common startup myth. Why not consider perfecting what's already proven to potentially lead to greater success? Why Refine Instead of Redefine? Less Risk: Developing a product based on proven models reduces uncertainty and financial risk. Faster Go-to-Market: Leveraging existing frameworks means you can refine and deploy faster, getting ahead of competition. Proven Demand: Building on existing successful models ensures there is a ready market for your product, reducing the guesswork of market acceptance. 💡 The path less traveled isn't always the one paved with gold. Sometimes, the golden route is the one well-trodden, just waiting for someone to perfect it. Innovating within proven models can drive success with less risk and more predictability. 🤔 What are your thoughts on this approach? Have you or would you consider refining an existing model over creating something entirely new? 

LEAP 2024, already the gathering place for leading tech minds, will transform into an epic battleground for startups hoping to take home their piece of the event's prize pool. 12 shortlisted startups are preparing to pitch their ideas to an expert panel of judges on March 7, as part of the RocketFuel competition. “This competition is one of the world’s largest prize funds – and it comes without strings attached, no expectations of equity share for example,” commented Michael Champion, CEO of Tahaluf, the joint venture between Informa PLC, the Events Investment Fund (EIF) and the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SAFCSP). The competition will give out awards in six categories, with entrants segmented by size, operational age, number of employees, funding, scale, and societal impact. Click to learn more.

Why do startups need an MVP? Here are a few key reasons: 1. Learn from the Market: One of the great advantages of an MVP for startups is the ability to learn from the market. By launching an MVP, startups can build only the essential features to test how well their product will be received. This helps them to understand their target customer better. 2. Reduce Cost: By releasing an MVP, startups will greatly reduce the cost involved in developing a full-scale product. Developing a product from scratch can be an expensive task, but with an MVP, startups can build a basic version of their product and add extra features as they learn more from the market. 3. Assess Demand: An MVP allows startups to assess the potential demand for their #product and gauge customer reactions. This is before committing a larger budget to #develop their product. 4. Fundamental Feedback: With an MVP, startups can receive real-time feedback from customers. This is invaluable in refining their product and making the necessary improvements and adjustments. 5. Protect Assets: By launching an #MVP, startups can protect their other valuable assets, such as time and money. By testing the market with an MVP, #startups can avoid costly and time-consuming mistakes associated with building a full product. Any other reasons you think an MVP is an essential tool for all startups to launch successfully?
