Lean Start-up,
Accelerators and Business Model Canvas in Lifescience/Healthcare?
Can the Lifesciences / Healthcare sector’s business
start-ups learn from the experience and techniques of the Tech / Digital
sectors? I’m thinking particularly of speed to market, and success rates. If so it this could well boost investment
into this sectors start-ups!
As a starting point to investigating this further I’m
reviewing/benchmarking the use of three “techniques” within
Lifescience/healthcare sector, and would like to ask or your help with this, via
three queries. The aforementioned “techniques”
are listed below along with links to brief Linked-In polls. Many thanks in anticipation of your help - I
will of course freely publish the results on my Blog!
1. The
rise of the Tech Accelerators such
as the original Y-Combinator and TechStars, and a number of followers in USA & Europe, are a testament to the
success of the Accelerator approach (reviewed by NESTA report Start Up Factories, and utilising community based
approach elaborated by Brad
Feld www.startuprev.com). Until the recent Health Wildcatters launch in Dallas and
Harvard
announcement for funding of a new healthcare accelerator, there appeared to
be none active in our sector. Are you aware of any others existing or planned?

Related are
the “Lean Start-up” , movement developed by Eric Ries (theleanstartup.com), and the Business
Model Generation techniques of Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur (www.businessmodelgeneration.com. In particular techniques such as Minimum Viable
Product and Business Model Canvascanvas.
These are reviewed in brief article by Steve
Blank, Why the Lean Start-Up Changes
Everything (hbr.org/2013/05/why-the-lean-start-up-changes-everything/ar/1).
Are you aware of these techniques being used in
Lifesciences / Healthcare sub-sectors?
I look forward to receiving your input.
Many thanks
