Na página II encontrei esta notícia "PME com ajuda na consultoria" onde se lia:
"As Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PME) vão poder beneficiar de apoios comunitários para pagar despesas com serviços de consultoria, apoio à inovação e protecção de propriedade intelectual, com um limite de 200 mil euros durante três anos. A alteração ao regulamento do Sistema de Incentivos à Qualificação e Internacionalização de PME, torna elegíveis as despesas com este tipo de serviços e cria um "Vale Empreendedorismo" para apoiar empresas com menos de um ano na elaboração de planos de negócios e protecção e comercialização de direitos de propriedade intelectual e industrial."Depois, na página VII são apresentadas 5 dicas para quem pensa em incubar um negócio:
- Definir a ideia
- Fazer um plano de negócio
- Escolher a incubadora
- Aproveitar o networking
- Não fechar a porta à saída
"Estude a viabilidade económico-financeira do seu projecto, tenha em conta o mercado e questione..."

Juntar empreendedorismo, inovação, statups e ... plano de negócio é uma ideia tão obsoleta!!! Por onde têm andado? Não têm assistido à revolução no mundo das startups?

Steven Blank em "The Four Steps to the Epiphany" escreve:
"A fundamental truth about startups that is completely ignored ... is that they are not all alike. One of the radical insights that guides this book is that startups fall into one of four basic categories:As startups não são todas iguais. Uma colega da minha mulher abriu, aqui em Estarreja, mais um ponto de venda de jornais e revistas (escolha 1), dois trabalhadores saem de uma empresa e montam uma nova, para produzir o mesmo tipo de peças injectadas que a empresa de onde saíram (escolha 1)... nestas empresas com menos de um ano de idade faz sentido falar em plano de negócio. Contudo, nos exemplos de startup apresentados no suplemento (iClio; BikeTreino e Biosurfit) temos outros tipos (escolhas 2, 3 e 4(?)). Nestes casos, como é possível falar de plano de negócio logo à partida? O produto está definido? Quem são os clientes-alvo? Qual o tamanho do mercado? Ainda ontem de manhã estive numa empresa industrial onde há anos um dos empresários me contou, enquanto se ria, como o plano de negócios que tinha feito com tanto cuidado para a sua startup, ficou desactualizado no dia em que o entregou, para obter um subsídio, ao ler um artigo numa revista técnica.
• 1.Bringing a new product into an existing market
• 2.Bringing a new product into a new market
• 3.Bringing a new product into an existing market and trying to resegment that market as a low-cost entrant
• 4.Bringing a new product into an existing market and trying to resegment that market as a niche entrant."
"What’s important to know now is that the traditional product development model at times succeeds in getting a product out the door into a known market with known customers (choice 1). Executing past practices in this Market Type may work if the market is similar to past experiences. However, since the majority of startups are not going after known markets (falling into the second and third categories), they don’t have a clue where their customers are."
"Since the four types of startups have very different rates of customer adoption and acceptance, their sales and marketing strategies differ dramatically. Even more serious, is that each Market Type have radically different cash needs. A company creating a new market might be unprofitable for 5 or more years, while one in an existing market might be generating cash in 12-18 months. As a result, the product development model is not only useless, it is dangerous. It tells the finance, marketing and sales teams nothing about how to uniquely describe and sell for each type of startup, nor how to predict the resources needed for success."
"I’ve argued that the product development model leads to fundamental and often fatal errors in the first year or two of a startup’s life. We can sum up these errors in terms of three unrealistic expectations:
• That the product development diagram can be relied upon to guide activities that have nothing to do with product development—namely, finding customers, a market, and a viable business model.
• That Customer Development will move on the same schedule as product development.
• That all types of startups and all new products will achieve acceptance and deployment at the same rate, namely starting at First Customer Ship.
In addition to these three errors, there is one more. Startups face enormous pressure from their investors to become profitable. Sometimes, to get funded, these new ventures make unrealistic financial assumptions – about market size, growth or simply ignoring the consequences of the Market Type they have chosen. These optimistic expectations become the plan of record, forcing execution towards unrealistic and unachievable goals."
Steve Blank, um serial startuper bem sucedido, costuma dizer
"“No business plan survives first contact with customers.”"
"Instead, Blank and the others have been pushing business models as an alternative means for capturing the essence of your business. Blank argues, “A business model describes how your company creates, delivers and captures value. It’s best understood as a diagram that shows all the flows between the different parts of your company. This includes how the product gets distributed to your customers and how money flows back into your company. And it shows your company’s cost structures, how each department interacts with the others and where your company can work with other companies or partners to implement your business.”
Rather than investing 3 – 6 months in researching the market, (Moi ici: Claro que os consultores que vivem da produção de planos de negócio não gostam) developing hypotheses and writing a 100 page tome that no-one (not even your investors) will ever read, the business model evangelists argue that time would be better spent designing and TESTING the hypotheses of your model. And the mechanism for tracking your business model should be a single canvas rather than the traditional report."
"A startup is not a smaller version of a large company. A startup is a temporary organization in search of a scalable, repeteable, profitable business model."
...
"Winners recognize their startup is a series of untested hypotheses.
...
On Day one, a startup is a faith-based initiative,,, it's unknown whether the features appeal to customers.
...
Relentless execution without knowing what to execute is a crime." (Moi ici: E o que é um plano de negócio? Executar com base em quê? Com base na fé pura e simples?)
