24 Pacific Channel Overview Case Study

25 Pacific Channel Overview Our thinking — The problem must be an ‘ice-pick through the eye’ for the eventual customer — Form companies around market problems and not innovation (market pull not technology push) Foc ocus on on sol olving r rea eal — Continual market engagement is pr probl blem ems imperative — Preventing echo chambers “The only thing that matters is getting to product/market fit” – Marc Andreesen

26 Pacific Channel Overview Our thinking — Technology companies naturally tend towards focussing on the product — Business models are often developed at product launch — Too many innovative companies fail Busines ess m model el m matters because their business model does not fit with the market — Hold hands, don’t butt heads (partner early) — Pivoting is inevitable (it’s a contact sport)

27 Pacific Channel Overview Our thinking — The average start-up lasts longer than the average marriage — Success is 90% execution and 10% luck — Chances of success of a serial entrepreneur dramatically higher Peopl ple, e, pe peopl ple, e, pe peopl ple — Choose your team and investors wisely

28 Pacific Channel Overview Our thinking — Roles cannot be narrowly defined in a start-up — In technology companies, the business strategy is informed by the R&D and vice versa Goin ing a all in ll in — Scientists need to become commercially aware, and business team need to love R&D — CEO need to get involved in all aspects of the business — Active and strategic board and shareholders crucial

29 Pacific Channel Overview Our thinking — Execution is everything in the 21st century — People face demand for their attention from all directions — Power shift from builder to consumer If yo you build i it, t, the they w won’t — A better mousetrap isn’t necessarily nece cessarily co come enough — A product does not sell itself — Market needs to be educated about your product — Tech companies still need to focus on marketing and sales

30 Pacific Channel Overview — Niche markets that have little international focus Our thinking — Where there is local expertise to identify and solve problems — B2B not B2C Wher ere s e should N d New — Not ventures that require speed to market Zea ealand t d tec echnology com ompanies f foc ocus? — Not ventures that are too capital intensive “If you have not heard of it or don’t understand it then it has a better chance of success internationally” - Sir Sir Paul C l Callag aghan an
