BW Ventures

Helping innovation/new business teams to validate and implement new business propositions.

Most likely you have more than enough ideas available within your team. Turning them into future-proof business models, with proven client commitment before launch, is what I can help you with. 

In case you have multiple innovation project running, I can help you find the best strategy to generate a positive return on investment on your innovation portfolio.

New Business Project Management

Helping our clients, large corporate and public entities, by testing their business concepts in the market. Interviewing many end-users and problem owners to test if there is an actual problem in the market worth solving. 

If there is, I deliver a business case based on the only thing that matters: proof that clients actually buy the solution even before it is launched (pre-sales/letters of intent).

Market Validation Specialist

Online Marketing Internship

Praxis DIY

Sales

Ik onderzoek problemen waar nog geen oplossingen voor zijn. Samen met de mensen die deze problemen ervaren ontwikkel ik een oplossing én een businessmodel waarmee de oplossing structureel aangeboden wordt.

Dat doe ik voor verschillende doelgroepen, zoals mantelzorgers, HR-professionals, militairen, schoonmakers, IT-ontwikkelaars en openbaar vervoerders.

Een belangrijk onderdeel van mijn werk is het snel en efficiënt testen van commitment: welke oplossing gaat de doelgroep met 100% zekerheid gebruiken of afnemen, en welke niet?

Zo zorg ik ervoor dat er alleen wordt geïnvesteerd in oplossingen die echt waardevol zijn voor de eindgebruiker.

Dat doe ik nu zo'n 8 jaar in verschillende rollen. Na veel innovaties zelf getoetst te hebben begeleid ik nu ook innovatieteams binnen grote organisaties in hun zoektocht. 

Voorbeelden van organisaties waarmee ik werk zijn:

- KvK
- Politie
- Ministerie van Defensie
- Sony
- DELA
- Vebego
- VNG
- Cisco
