Founder & Chief Innovation Officer (CINO)
The notion that "startups should create value for customers who create value for them" ultimately leads to entrepreneurial success. However, the reality is that “missing product-market fit causes 42% of startups to fail, leaving only 1 in 10 standing in the long run.” In light of this, OpenThink advises early-stage entrepreneurs and corporate chief innovation officers on how to identify the obstacles that prevent them from successfully resolving the product-market fit equation, which is crucial for sustainable growth. Incidentally, who are entrepreneurs and emerging leaders? An inventor seeking commercialization of its discovery? An innovator gauging market response to its value propositions? The founder of a startup assessing the most viable product-market fit? An entrepreneur seeking scalability of the business model of its scale-up? A CEO or a CINO (Chief Innovation Officer) looking to innovate for other markets while maintaining core business operations?
