Business Proof of Concept Test

The Business Proof of Concept Test from startup venture toolbox is designed to explore whether the entrepreneur has thought through the business concept from a market size, intellectual property, human resources needs, competitive position and financial requirements point of view. The outputs from the test can be used as the basis for a business plan. The test is the equivalent of an investor's short list of important questions for analyzing whether to invest in the concept. By focusing on these questions early, the entrepreneur can resolve issues critical for success early on.
