Startup Funding Espresso – More Mental Models for Ideation

More Mental Models for Ideation Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There are several more approaches to ideation for a startup. Consider these mental models for your ideation process: Move online -- take offline interactions and move on to the web. Roll-ups -- acquire other companies into your company or into a new one. Provide enabling technology -- provide technology to an industry segment to reduce cost or increase productivity. Commercialize patents -- take technology sitting on the shelf such as at a university and commercialize it. Spin off technology -- take a successful internal technology and set it up as a stand-alone company. Extend technology in the market -- apply high-end technology to low-end applications to reach more users. Picks, shovels, and Levis -- provide the tools to other companies serving a customer. Monetizing a network -- build a business that takes advantage of channel access. Consider these additional mental models for ideation in your startup.
