Platform selection and technical design - if your business strategy is to create a low-burn, highly iterative lean startup, youd better be using foundational tools that make that easy rather than hard. If not, whos going to insist we switch to free and open source software? January 18, 2009 8:22 AM Dan Khan said.

Don’t forget to choose a sound business model. Whether it is advertisement model, B2C (Business to Consumer) ecommerce, affiliate or subscription, picking the right choice could determine the rise or fall of your business. Open source software or clone script is also available.

Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Wednesday, July 29, 2009 Embrace technical debt Financial debt plays an important and positive role in our economy under normal conditions. Leverage product development with open source and third parties. For example, early on at IMVU, we incorporated in tons of open source projects.

If you are pursuing an advertising business model, then in the early days you will almost certainly have to outsource, despite the fact that this could be a core long term advantage. Cloud computing, open source and a global talent pool make outsourcing easier than ever before (even a few years ago). Advertising.

Business Model I would like to propose that in addition to team, product, and market, there is actually a fourth, equally important, core element of startups, which is the need for a viable business model. These new business models focused heavily on how buying behavior has changed because of the power of the web.

Im trying to create a technology enabled recruiting service for an unproven business model. Even though the business is making money now, its still a big risk for anyone involved. Or Gimp, or the 1000s of other open source projects, built for free by software engineers. Not business people, software engineers.

But that’s my prediction for 2009. Simple, they make killer products, they are a cash machine, it’s an attractive business model and they’re visionaries. 37signals also has a great business model. At least not yet. Outrageous, huh? Why 37signals? I’m a huge fan of Basecamp. Happy New Year!

The negativity either impacted investment funding (venture capital fell off a cliff in 2009) or the customers they were targeted as was the case for Untitled Partners who were building a platform for fractional art ownership. Now I just need a business model. Failed founders seem to agree that a business model is important.

But, you can iterate and iterate on features, but you cannot iterate your way to a business model. I’ve seen too many businesses get stuck or fail because of their endless pursuit for the magic new feature that is going to help them gain traction. I’m not saying don’t leverage open-source or established platforms.

Continuous innovation requires the imagination and courage to challenge the initial hypotheses of your current business model (channel, cost, customers, products, supply chain, etc.) Today open source software has slashed the cost of software development from millions of dollars to thousands.
