Using analytics to validate startup ideas for products?
Today we look at using predictive analytics to validate startup ideas. This is part of our continuing Ask Acculation series; scroll down to find out how to get your analytics or start-up questions answered here. A version of this post was originally published elsewhere. “How do I validate my B2B idea? I have considered joining an accelerator, building a website prototype, or asking entrepreneur friends, but are there other ways? This is essentially one of the main goals of predictive analytics (what we do) when applied to business data: be able to evaluate your idea using fast, inexpensive tests, than transform that data to how the market might behave under “real” conditions. First off, the premise of the question is intriguing. We’ve seen social media memes that have gone viral “there is no B2B or B2C. There are only people” superimposed over some sort of feel-good graphic. And the memes have their staunch defends.… Read the restContract product managers for start-ups?
“Would you consider hiring a contract product manager? [Part of our continuing Ask Acculation series; we originally answered this question on a Q&A site. Scroll down to the bottom of this post to find out how you can get your start-up, analytics, or business management questions answered in a future version of this column.] We know of companies that hire contract Product Managers (PMs). Our CEO has interviewed a number of PMs over the years and otherwise been involved in PM hiring decisions as well as worked with closely with many PMs while leading engineering and scientific teams. First off, we might want to take a step back and explain to readers what a product manager does. They’re typical managers or senior executives within a product division of a company. Not every firm considers itself a “product company” and so not every company has a product division or product managers. For example, a company that considered itself primarily focused on sales or financial investments might not have many product managers.… Read the restReviews of our app, or working more with governments on air quality
It’s probably time to talk about our iOS mobile app again. Our recent articles on IBM Watson analytics and Google Glass generated a lot of interest with people contacting us privately to ask for advice on various start-up projects their working on. (Some more dubious then others — we’re going to an article talking generally about some of the worst mistakes we’re seeing on the start-up scene, so that readers can avoid them.) One comment we’re been getting is that we should doing more to get governments involved with our air quality app. So we decided to put some of the app reviewers from iOS on this blog (finally). The final commenter quoted below says he is a former environmental journalist, and points out that with our app you can monitor your own air quality, independent of government! He suspects not all governments will like this. We have a little anecdotal evidence he’s right.… Read the rest14 Surprising Ways Miley Cyrus is like SQL Server Hadoop Analytics
14 Ways Miley Cyrus is like SQL Server Hadoop Analytics?!?! Yup, you read that article title right. We’ve done past articles on how computers were now writing newspaper articles automatically. When we learned there was software to “auto-generate” blog content, we were exhilarated. We can just let software write this blog and hit the beach! Unfortunately, the software is only first-generation. It doesn’t actually write the blog article, just suggests a title. So, we asked this first-generation system for a computer-generated blog title for this article about Microsoft’s continuing embrace-and-extend gambit for generating Microsoft SQL Server licensing fees from Hadoop users. This is what the all-knowing automatic blog content generator came up with for a title. Apparently, the software has a thing for Miley Cyrus. You’re probably thinking, Miley Cyrus doesn’t seem to have a whole lot in common with SQL Server Hadoop Analytics. So… is it even possible for us or anyone to come up with … count ’em ….… Read the restRecent Comments
