Lecture

The Startup Studio Framework

In Week 1, you invented a product. In Week 2, you commercialize it.

  • What is a Startup Studio? Unlike an accelerator that takes existing companies, a studio co-designs and builds companies from scratch (e.g., Inria Startup Studio).
  • Deep Tech Commercialization: Transitioning from scientific research (Earth Observation) to a viable business model.
  • The Two-Sided App: Every SaaS requires an internal Admin portal (CRM) to manage early adopters and track metrics.
Sprint Kickoff

Lab: Architecting Your CRM

Build the internal operations required to run your startup.

  • Step 1: Create a new HTML page `admin.html` restricted to your admin email via Firebase Auth.
  • Step 2: Query your Firestore database to fetch all registered users and their usage statistics.
  • Goal: Build a dashboard where you can see who is using your app without opening the Firebase Console.
