New Business Idea: Smart senses

Make use of your electronic devices sensors for the best... and increase the life of your equipment!

Project

Smart senses

Description

You may use your electronic devices without knowing they're loaded with sensors allowing them to track, adapt or control their behaviour. As such your smartphone is loaded with sensors you probably don't use. However they collect important data on the device and can be used to protect it in abnormal conditions of temperature, humidity... Smart senses is an app that tracks all sensors data and generates alerts before problems occur.

Target audience

This app is targeted at people caring about their smartphone lifetime and performance.

Revenues

The app is paid and updated regularly to be more and more protective, i.e. covering more situations in which the smartphone can be protected.

Strategy

The main objective is to prove smartphones with the smart senses app installed last longer and perform better. Similar protection can be offered for devices than smartphones e.g. for the Internet of things.

How can I balance my cashflow and my product development?

Unless you have a regular source of income that covers all of your product development spendings, you'll have to continuously make sure you don't overspend. This has hard consequences: postpone work that isn't top priority, be frugal when dealing with salaries, focus on revenue growth instead of quality. Bootstrapping a startup requires to make hard choices to preserve your cashflow! Cashflow is king for most startups: even if you hand team problems skilfully, maintain a upbeat pace compared to competitors, money problems are still able to kill your business relatively quickly. One way of handling this is to have several regular revenue streams that make it possible to invest in building a quality product over time even if you don't get any funding. Stable resources are the key to a sustainable product roadmap!

Why should youth be more careful and elderly take more risks?

Youth are known to be foolish and the elderly to be averse to risk... Why do we take fewer risks as we get older ? Come on, Victoria, let's get this plane up in the air, we're covered by bullet proof insurance! The older we grow, the more security we get: financially, through life insurance... So that should give us more reassurance to invest into risky business. Youth on the contrary are right to take risks, for all the good things it brings, yet should be wary of not loosing more that they win. Be careful in your decisions then go for it and make it happen. Remember the older you get the more you should take risks.
