What is a startup?
Startup company. (2016, March 16). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 14:51, March 17, 2016, from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Startup_company&oldid=710354466
Phase 1
Developing the idea
Make a prototype
Launch the prototype
We were keen to test things out straight away although we knew we were launching at the wrong time and without enough publicity. But despite everything people still came
Look for funding
We were able to clearly demonstrate a gap in the market and show potential worth investing in
Find early partners
We didn’t want this to just be a library thing. Having an initial external partner made things feel exciting and big!
Develop the prototype
Keep developing, changing & detangling things until you’re ready to launch the next phase
Phase 2
No brains!
Communication
We developed a clear communication plan to ensure all stakeholders were informed
Buy-in
We needed buy-in from across the whole library service at all levels
