Starting an innovative company

Help with the next entrepreneurial steps

Brainport Development's business developers can help you with the next steps in your entrepreneurial journey:

• A business plan

A business plan helps you to be well-considered and future proof. This allows you to start with a well thought out idea and increases the chances of success. We help you draw up such a plan and think about the steps you need to take. Think about establishing trademark rights or applying for one or more patents. But also: how do I validate the problems and how do I get funding to start in the first place?

• Understand your customer's problem

Dive deep into the needs and problems of your target customers. Understand what they really want and need. Our business developers can hold up a mirror to you.

• Determine the right solution

Talk to potential customers to get direct feedback. Are they willing to pay, to co-develop, are they willing to commit? Prior to such a market consultation, our business developers can help you think about the right approach.

• Build a prototype or MVP

Make a minimal version of your product that is just good enough to test and learn from the first (pilot) customers. Brainport Development's business developers can point you - where necessary - to the right cooperation partners.

• Scaling up

Do you have the right solution to the right problem and a product that fits the customer's need? Then you have product-market fit. With the right plans and ambitions, we can work together to find the right way to scale.
