(Iain) private enterprise not institution will be first paying customer, even if you can learn from observing & talking within enterprise

Tests should be focused around “day in the life” of customer – see Blank on “how to develop a customer problem presentation” (Iain)

approaching potential interviewees – cold call – maybe, but can you get an introduction through a contact? Higher success rate, faster.

Zenith – is the intent for these remote communities to *only* rely on the kite power? Or just supplemental to existing service?

A friend of mine in the data mining world says the real value might be in the user data you could pull. Age, location, playing time, etc.
-
enfinlay
That data is going to be logged to watch for fraud, already – that’s a good thought, thank you!
-
taggjefferson
Yep. She said casinos (brick and mortar, or online) and marketing firms would throw their wallets at you if you had a good data set.
-

Wouldn’t there be significant privacy concerns regarding the sale of customer information?
-
enfinlay
Probably – we originally planned to not sell data ever. We also don’t want to change the T&S and get a black eye like instagram
-
taggjefferson
Not sure — even bulk behaviour data is valuable, apparently. Doesn’t need to be granulated to the individual.

@Foosler – are you looking at iOS too?
-
enfinlay
We will – the Apple Terms of Service are too restrictive. We would need to partner with Apple to make it work.

Is the question “if I gave it to you for free today, would you use it?” more meaningful and revealing than “if I had it, would you buy it?”?

two or multi-sided markets have specific “norms” check Blank’s book for section on this

If you really practice *listening* in your interviews, you may be surprised by what you discover from your exploratory questions…

skill gaming great idea, where do we sign up

We’ll let you know 😉

pptis death in customer discovery – take 1 page sketch – not about selling but about discovery on how you can be of service: fig out process

3D bio-printer- proposed experiments – open & closed Qs – will you buy x? Would you use if it was free? BUT open is > exploratory re problem

Starfish http://bit.ly/UVzCT6 would be a solid contract manufacturer for early models as well.

Zaber is your OEM for your actuators? Do you need that precision?
-
enfinlay
Needs micron precision?
-
konradw
we need micron precession <100um for drug testing structures, possibly lower requirement for large experimental structures

@Dragonfly – I have a contact with environment assessors at BC Hydro – contact me for more info

Bio Printing -it sounds like your selling the machine – could you offer a service to print the tissue? Kinda like hi throughput sequencing?
-
konradw
very good point, there are multiple models that we are considering.

3D bioprinter – What makes you different than already existing products on the market? Eg: http://www.invetech.com.au/

We have new innovations in the printing head that we expect will give our system more flexibility – patent process in the works. thx!

This space is so technically deep (and yet open) that there are likely to be lots of approaches that get tested as business models.

Also, iGEM might be a valuable connection? http://www.ubcigem.com/igem/

There was Eng Phys APSC 479 project that did bio printing – want intro?

yes, please connect us.

look for why people can be illogical – motivation to keep playing through injury

Understanding the variation in people’s attitudes and knowledge of concussion is a goal of our project. We aim to find a common denominator.

Have you reviewed “return to play” policies for professional, uni and youth sports clubs? Lots of secondary data on this.Paul knows some-ask
-
axon_Eoin
Thanks Paul, we have some interviews lined up at University Fraser Valley so far. Any contacts within UBC sport programs would be v. useful.

Axom, talk to the group not the slide

Is there any “pain” for most people? Why not just go to a doctor?
-
axon_Eoin
Concussion outcomes vary between minor symptoms to death. The “pain” on the person, coach, family, friends is proportional to the outcome.

ALL: aim to get TAM/SAM slide to 1 point that focuses on “right now” (next 2 weeks), and linked to go forward vision
-

Axon: concussion brain injury profiler – mobile app – nice drill down on tgt mkt – go further; who has biggest pain – football, hockey?
-
taggjefferson
Is 100% SAM capture reasonable?
-
axon_Eoin
90-100% is feasible. Over 50% of the population of Canada use Facebook every month. Kids & elderly don’t use it => all the rest probably do

Most likely supplemaental since wind is never 100% reliable. The goal is to minimize diesel usage as much as possible.
