Deep dives

Identifying a Viable Idea

A successful business idea should not stem from personal whim but should be rooted in market demand. Entrepreneurs should focus on identifying problems that potential customers face, categorizing ideas into four key criteria: unworkable, unavoidable, urgent, and underserved. For example, the influencer marketing agency Fanbytes was built to address the urgent need for brands to engage with the Gen Z audience, which many small to medium-sized businesses found difficult to navigate. By ensuring that their business model addressed these key criteria, the founders positioned themselves to offer a compelling solution to a pressing market need.
