Prototype Jolint

Purpose and goal:

The project has successfully developed a functional prototype that measures inclusion and belonging in companies. We have demonstrated the product´s value to potential customers and investors through practical demonstrations. The objectives have been achieved, laying the groundwork for further development and implementation.

Expected results and effects:

The project resulted in a functional MVP that reduced risks for the product and business. We validated the product concept and identified potential problems at an early stage. We gained valuable insights into the long sales cycle and the need to consider multiple stakeholders and establish trust before we can sell and operate the product. Although we did not attract three pilot customers, we adjusted our sales strategy and improved the platform, enhancing our future chances of success.

Approach and implementation:

We divided the development of the software tool into four work packages. The first three packages went according to plan, and we successfully created and implemented the software tool. The last work package took more time than expected, but we learned important things about the market, including that sales cycles are longer and that we need to engage multiple stakeholders in our target customer companies to close sales.

These insights have laid a strong foundation for future success and improved our ability to reach and convince potential customers.
