- Poor Business Model
- The product did not have any problem to solve.
- Vitoto was a focused product of which the core feature set could be built relatively fast and cheap.
- It had a recurring payment model. The core feature (MVP) should be good enough that you could actualy charge users for it.
- There was the ability to grow out to different markets/features to increase the customer base and how much they should charge.
- Team Issues
- As there are two types of teams: young teams who could survive on very minimal cash, and the experienced, well funded teams, the Vitoto team fell somewhere in the middle.
- They had a team that was too experienced for the budget, and had no invested User Experience/Design specialist.
- No Market Validation
- The team ran out of runway and could not develop new features into the product.
- The product was not getting the traction needed nor could we get the viral loop to work, this made the product unappealing to investors.
- They did not have enough money to support the team in executing the required UX tweaks and experiments, thus were unable to further develop the product to a point where it could get enough traction to attract investors.
- Poor Planning
- The lack of UX focus was another key factor in the success of Vitoto.
- The first element to this was that they had no dedicated UX specialist on the team. They did bring in outside expertise for the graphics design, and while the quality delivered was high, this put further constraint on the budget.
- The second element was that the team never properly sat down and brainstormed the UX. Quick decisions were made to get the MVP out the door and these had serious impacts on how the product was received by customers.
- Lack of Experience
- Nobody in the team had built a successful consumer product before.
- They had no experience in consumer of video.
- Poor Financial Planning
- Did not take into account the extent of tweaking that would need to be done to the product after the MVP to get it to a point of consistent user uptake.
- The UX is the most important marketing tool for an early stage startup. If people are not using your product, it doesn’t matter how well you market it.
- The founder consistently had user feedback to add, remove or enhance features or experience, but continually found himself telling himself that it was a roadmap but they did not have enough money to build it.
