Robert Scoble’s recipe /1
“The best launch is if you have a product that
other people like using so much that they tell other people about it.”

Robert Scoble’s recipe /2
“What you want to do is have a story that travels to the people who are most likely to need your product.
It all starts with a story.
So, the right way to launch is to have a story. Then try that story out on some early adopters. Do they go "no
way!" Or do they look bored?”

Robert Scoble’s recipe /3Start asking the right question:
• How can I get Oprah Winfrey to see my product within a year?
• How can I get to be a featured app in the Apple app store?
• How do I make a product so strategically important that Steve Jobs buys it within a month.
• How do I make a product that's so sticky and viral that it gets people to tell at least five other people about it.

Robert Scoble’s recipe /5
• So, what's your story?
• A sizeable part of having a great story is also hitting the market at the right time.

Solution
“I purposely made the solution box less than one-ninth of the entire canvas because, as entrepreneurs, we are most passionate about the solution box and what we are naturally good at. “

Risks
27 https://leanstack.com/the-10x-product-launch/
10. Launch + going lean
Product Risk – Getting the product right
1. First make sure you have a problem worth solving. 2. Then define the smallest possible solution (MVP). 3. Build and validate your MVP at small scale (demonstrate
UVP). 4. Then verify it at large scale.

10. Launch + going lean
Customer Risk – Building a path to customers
1. First identify who has the pain. 2. Then narrow down to early adopters who really want your
product now. 3. It’s okay to start with outbound channels. 4. But gradually build/develop scalable inbound channels –
the earlier the better.
29 https://leanstack.com/the-10x-product-launch/
10. Launch + going lean
Market Risk – Building a viable business
1. Identify competition through existing alternatives and pick a price for your solution.
2. Test pricing first by measuring what customers say (verbal commitments).
3. Then by what they do. 4. Optimize your cost structure to make the business model
work.

Hints
• Canvases are only a map of the issues that every startup should consider.
• There is no canvas which is always the best. • You can use more than one canvas in the very beginning; it
forces you to look at a product from different perspectives. You can also change a canvas while working with a product.
• If you can’t fill out any canvas in a logical way, you should rethink your business model or even just think again, deeply, about its formula.
