Alan uses his perceptive powers to dream and craft a vision that will guide him through the rest of his venture identifying a viable business opportunity, he accumulates intelligence about the venture, market size, customer preferences and behavior, competitive landscape, pricing options, decision makers and key influencers in the market as well as prospective customers, potential partners, distribution options, legal and regulatory landscape, etc; all such things need to be known to succeed in this high-risk, high-rewards business. Entrepreneurs need to be charismatic. It takes a lot of charm and drawing power to sell one’s vision to co-founders, employees, partners, investors and early customers. Good ones need to learn to connect with people and inject them with that passion, energy and vision of the future.

Alan is a big fan of the Lean Startup strategy, and thinks all entrepreneurs need to embrace the essence of it. A lean startup does not mean cheap business, but one that is more methodical and scientific about growing the organization with a keen sense of order and priorities. I have seen so many entrepreneurs start developing a product in a vacuum only to discover there never existed a market for what they have built. A lean entrepreneur, on the contrary, recognizes the value of customer discovery and validating his hypothesis about the business model very early on in the business’ life. He facilitates meticulous planning, even more importantly, he’s a born leader who has the ability to quickly react and adapt to constant market change. Conception of a business to an IPO or exit is almost always a very long roller-coaster ride with high highs and very low lows. Alan has the tenacity to absorb all the shocks and shield the rest of the organization from the bumps of that.
