getting inside your market’s head
to discover real needs you can

and quantitative approaches, and
in some cases curated MVPs or
regional tests.

product that engages customers in
a meaningful, valuable way.

more touch points, more repeatable
customers, more …
Stages
3) Virality
• Growing adoption through
inherent, artificial, and word-
of-mouth virality.

optimal pricing, then pouring
some of that money back into

Stages
5) Scale
• Growing the organization
