Challenges in using incubators and accelerator programs

These programs can provide you with valuable resources, mentorship, networking opportunities, and structured guidance to overcome challenges, and accelerate traction. They, however, pose some challenges for some:

  • Time constraints: Participating in an incubator or accelerator program requires a significant time commitment, which can be challenging for sidepreneurs, solopreneurs, and individuals managing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • High expectations and pressure: Incubator and accelerator programs often have high expectations for growth and progress, which can create pressure and stress for users to meet milestones and achieve results within a limited timeframe.
  • Balancing program requirements with ongoing work: You may find it challenging to balance the demands of the program with your existing business, freelancing work or day job.

Challenges in using structured online course content, mentoring platforms or a coach

Online courses, mentoring platforms, or hiring a coach, you benefit from valuable guidance, expertise, and resources to navigate the challenges of customer discovery. However, they pose some challenges:

  • Dip in Motivation and Self-discipline: Staying motivated and disciplined to complete the courses, actively engage with mentors, or follow through with coaching sessions is difficult to manage alone.
  • Difficulties in Finding the Right Fit: Identifying the most suitable courses, mentors, or coaches that align with their specific needs, industry, and goals is tough.
  • Overwhelm with Options & Information: Navigating through an abundance of information and resources available online, and determining which ones are most relevant and valuable for their unique situation.

Challenge in using unstructured self-learning and trial-and-error approach

Unstructured self-learning and trial-and-error approach offers freedom but lacks guidance, resources, and structured frameworks, posing challenges like limited direction and inefficient resource utilization. More key challenges include:

  • Blind Spot Identification: Difficulty in recognizing and addressing blind spots or gaps in knowledge and understanding, hindering effective customer discovery.
  • Lack of Accountability and Guidance: Operating without external accountability and guidance, which can make it challenging to stay on track and make informed decisions.
  • Motivational Challenges: Facing demotivation and losing momentum without a structured learning environment and support system to provide guidance and encouragement throughout the customer discovery journey.


Unleash the Power of Structured Customer Discovery

We use a mix of principles from customer discovery (get out of the building), lean startups (iterative loop of experimentation), startup engineering (disprove your assumptions), and the business model canvas to uncover your compelling business model, by doing “un-scalable” things to reach out to "ideal" users.

With the number of things on my plate, its necessary to outsource as much as possible. TractionMate has been invaluable to the growth of my SaaS product. We needed to get people for a beta test and TractionMate went out and got them, even when there was no product yet. We will partner with them for the launch of all our SaaS products.
