The SmarterLeap Difference
Sometimes, the hardest part about starting a business is simply coming up with a great idea. When successfully executed, a unique business idea will produce stunning results. There are also many business ideas that come across as common, but when combined with one or two unique elements the outcome is a very successful company.
Our idea generation process focuses on developing unique ideas to present to our subscribers. We also take existing businesses and add a new twist or two to produce a differentiated concept with lots of potential. For more about the idea generation process, please read on.
Idea Generation Process
In a nutshell, here's how our idea generation process works:
1. Design: Powered by Idea Architects - a proprietary network of industry leaders, visionaries, consultants, scholars, and creative thinkers - SmarterLeap taps into the ingenuity of smart and creative people that have unique ideas, but are not interested in the implementation side. Providing the blue prints for your future prosperity, SmarterLeap Idea Architects are always hard at work brainstorming new business ideas based on their expertise, experiences, trendspotting, market research and conversations with prospective customers.
2. Evaluate: An independent team of industry experts and successful entrepreneurs evaluates and screens each idea based on a variety of criteria, including originality, revenue potential, profit margin, capital requirements, size of market, time to execute, scalability and required technical knowledge. We keep only the best concepts that pass our strict screening process. If the idea doesn't meet our exacting standards, we toss it out immediately.
3. Deliver: For each SmarterLeap idea that makes the final cut, we post it to the site with an in-depth description that includes:
a. A description of the need. Identifying new business opportunities is often as simple as evaluating our daily lives to see what might be missing or lacking. This description identifies the gap in the marketplace.
b. The idea. This section answers the question, "What business will I be in?" It details the new business opportunity, as well as identifies how it will appeal to customers.
c. Tapping the market: Having a great idea doesn't cut it alone. Successful entrepreneurs also need to know where to strike to hit gold. This section provides insight and methods for acquiring profitable customers and navigating marketing channels, including those within both niche or mass markets on a local, national or global scale.
d. The numbers: This section outlines how the business will make money and defines the core revenue models.
e. Who should start this biz: Learn which key skills are required to get this idea off the ground so you can decide if this SmarterLeap concept is a good match for you.
Choose The Perfect SmarterLeap Idea For You
You've learned about our process, now all you need to do is join SmarterLeap and select the business idea that is right for you. Once you've found the perfect idea for you to pursue, you can reserve the rights to an idea for up to one year. This means that we pull the idea from the SmarterLeap website and newsletter, which helps prevent other entrepreneurs from starting the same business.
Launch A SmarterLeap Business
At SmarterLeap, we believe that individuals truly inspired to start their own businesses should have access to the most invaluable new business concepts available. We also believe that by providing meaningful support during the planning process, we'll help you stimulate ideas into action and put your dream of owning your own business within reach. We are the only online platform that delivers both viable new business ideas and support for implementation. We are personally committed to delivering services that give your new business the best possible chance to succeed.
While each idea listing contains the highlights of a standard business plan, our comprehensive start up program offers a detailed business planning document to serve as a blueprint to successfully fund, start and grow your business. While almost all SmarterLeap ideas have low required start-up capital, the business planning document will help you get any necessary funding from friends, family and the private equity community.
