Hey there, fellow dreamers and change-makers!
In the city of Prishtina, Kosovo, the stage was set for an extraordinary event - the kickoff of GIST Innovate the Balkans. The week-long in-person training provided the perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and grow as we prepared to embark on a transformative nine-week journey of customer discovery. The buzz of excitement was contagious as we worked alongside brilliant mentors from Arizona State University.
Among the many exhilarating opportunities, we were presented with, conducting a minimum of 40 interviews as part of our customer discovery process filled us with excitement and anticipation. Little did we know that this ambitious endeavor would become the catalyst for our preparation to conquer the highly competitive US market.
With enthusiasm and determination, we embarked on this transformative journey of discovery. Each interview till now was a unique opportunity to connect with potential customers, industry experts, and key stakeholders, decision makers. Engaging in these conversations, we gained valuable insights into customer pain points, market demands, and untapped opportunities.
The information we've started to gather from these initial interviews is already proving to be a goldmine for shaping our business strategies. We're excited about the unique selling points we've uncovered, setting us apart in the US market and creating a compelling value proposition that we are proud to stand behind.
Through the process of conducting these early interviews, we are discovering the true essence of entrepreneurship - adaptability and resilience. Embracing all the feedback, both positive and critical, we are eager to iterate and improve. Each interview challenges our assumptions and pushes us to think outside the box, laying the groundwork for growth and innovation.
Beyond just raw data and statistics, these interviews are forging meaningful connections. As we genuinely understand the hopes and struggles of potential customers, we are cultivating empathy and an even stronger passion for solving real-world problems. This emotional connection is becoming the driving force behind our entrepreneurial journey.
With each interview that lies ahead, we know the learning process will be never-ending. Every interaction with our audience reveals new and exciting opportunities awaiting us. We can't wait to dive deeper into these conversations, armed with newfound knowledge, and fine-tune our strategies as we venture into the US market with newfound confidence.
