How do to create an Ed-Tech start-up?
It is important to identify your targeted audience because even if you are developing an application for children, their parents are the one who you have to target. The same goes when you are implanting your tech in school as you have to target school heads and teachers.
Even if you have studied in a school for years that doesn't mean you know what are the difficulties faced by the teachers and other learners. To make your product successful you need to do market research. Only by talking to your potential clients you can find out what problems they are facing and how your product is going to solve it. It will lead to a better customer experience.
Yes, you surely have a great idea and it has the potential to dominate the market but unless you launch the product in the market you can't validate it. Keep this in mind that if you want to create an MVP you need to listen to your audience and develop it accordingly. So it is better to launch a product and develop it with time than wasting a huge amount of money initially.
This is the most important step in the process. It is a long process or defining your requirements, creating a list of prospective partners, interviewing every company, market research and collecting information.
How to become an Ed-Tech giant?
After you have selected the perfect Web Development Company for your product then you need to keep these following points in mind –
Researching your targeted users and their needs is always a crucial step toward the success of any product. You need to create an empathy map so that you can identify the priorities of your client quickly. Also, make a stakeholder map so you can concentrate on the people who are influenced by your ed-tech product.
At this point, you need to focus on what value your product can provide to the users and how it is better than other products in the market.
It is better to begin with, a wireframe prototype and a flow chart than wasting your hard-earned money on a complete design. It will give you an idea of what the product will look and how the user is going to interact with it. A great product is the one who keeps on getting better with the help of customer's feedback.
Once your mainframe is ready it's time to check the usability of your product. In order to test your application, introduce it to the general public who are going to be the ultimate user of it as they will give you honest feedback.
