That’s when things got real


And here’s what we learned along the way


1. Launch first ask questions later


Based on research, everyone wanted a unicorn

Based on real life user testing, they wanted much more than that


2. Buy as much time as you can


As a startup, you will always think about your remaining runway

Find a way to stretch yourself for a few extra months


3. Don’t fall in love with your product


Love the problem, not the product


4. Split the market


Less than 100K per year Less than 1.1M per year

More than 1.1M per year

100% Focus

Close several deals before moving to bigger customers


5. Early adopters are key


Find a few partners that believe in you, and give them their dream product.

And today, with Oslo Kommune, let’s find out what their dream product is!


And now, with help of TikkTalk’s early adopters, including several kommune’s

and 3 police districts
