Start here

Before you build, speak to a customer.

Find out how people handle the problem today. Start with these questions, then use the full checklist to prepare your next conversation.

Start with better questions.

A short checklist for your next customer conversation.

  1. Ask about the last time the problem happened. What did they actually do?
  2. Find out what the workaround costs in time, money or attention.
  3. Separate the person using a solution from the person approving its purchase.
  4. Write down what surprised you before deciding what to build.
Find the first useful thing.

Give your first product a clear job to do.

  1. Name one specific user and one recurring problem.
  2. Describe the useful outcome without listing features.
  3. Choose the smallest version that can test your core assumption.
  4. Decide what evidence would make you change direction.
Make room for the work.

A practical way to review your software stack.

  1. List the tools you pay for, their owners and renewal dates.
  2. Check which tools do the same job and which are actually used.
  3. Review access permissions and how you would export your data.
  4. Choose tools around today’s workflow before adding more complexity.

Start with the problem

A practical starting point for your next customer conversation.

Read more

Ask someone to describe the last time they encountered the problem. Follow the steps they took, the tools they used and the compromises they made.

Write down what happened before asking what they might buy. Compare several conversations to see which needs recur.

Founder resources

Choose a first useful product

Give your first version one clear job.

Read more

Name the person you are building for and the outcome they need. Choose a small version that helps you test whether that outcome matters.

Decide what you need to learn before adding features. A focused first version makes the next decision easier.

Programmes & deals

Before you apply for startup credits

Check eligibility, expiry dates and the cost after the credits run out.

Planning guide

Before choosing a programme, check its current eligibility rules, application requirements and any restrictions on previous credits. Read the provider’s terms directly.

Compare what your team actually needs with what is included. Note expiry dates, usage limits, renewal costs and how you would move away from the service.

Keep a record of the provider’s terms and the date you checked them, so you can compare the offer with your actual needs.

Programmes & deals

Review your software stack

A useful deal should solve a problem you already have.

Planning guide

List the tools your team uses, who owns each one and which tasks they support. Look for overlapping subscriptions and unused features.

Compare total costs, including extra seats, onboarding and renewal pricing. Trial a tool against one real task before changing how your team works.

About StartCamp

A few things to know.

What is StartCamp?

StartCamp is a London-based venture studio and venture capital firm. We create and fund AI-native B2B SaaS companies, with Capital and Studio as our two main areas.

What is the difference between Capital and Studio?

Capital focuses on backing founders and their companies. Studio is about creating a company together, starting with a problem, testing the idea and building the first product. Both share a focus on AI-native B2B SaaS.

Who are the founder resources for?

Anyone working through the early decisions of building a business. Explore practical guides on customers and products, plus guidance on choosing software deals and startup programmes. You do not need to work with StartCamp to use them.

Where should I start with deals and startup programmes?

Start with the planning guides in our resource hub. They explain what to check: eligibility, costs, expiry dates and the terms after credits or discounts end. The current guides help you evaluate offers; they are not listings of verified deals.

How can I get in touch?

Email contact@startcamp.com with a short introduction to your company, idea or resource. Our Contact page suggests what to include for Capital, Studio and partnership enquiries.
