Your Journey through Three Vital Phases
Phase 1: Problem Solution Fit
In the initial phase of the Jumpstart program, teams focus on finding the perfect match between their innovative ideas and real-world problems. This involves validating the proof of concept with stakeholders, conducting customer surveys to gain a deep understanding of the market, performing patent research to safeguard intellectual property, designing an alpha prototype, and availing themselves of grants specifically tailored to the transition from idea to proof of concept.
Phase 2: Product Solution Fit
In the second phase, the program dives deeper into the development process. Teams iterate and build alpha prototypes at a laboratory level, subject these prototypes to lab-scale validation, file for patents to protect their intellectual property, establish crucial connections with manufacturers, and develop a robust business model to support their innovation.
Phase 3: Product Launch
The final phase of the Jumpstart program is all about bringing the product to market. Teams test and iterate their creations in real-world scenarios, ensuring their functionality and user-friendliness. A beta prototype is prepared for early adopters, the final product is fine-tuned and made ready for mass production, and, ultimately, the product is released into the market. This phase also involves seeking further investment opportunities and grants to support the product’s growth and success.
