FAQ
How do I know it will work for me?
This system has been applied, by Dr. Matthew S. Checkley and team, to over 1000 new business ideas. The results are clear; successful new ideas rate high on the formulas used in this app. Put simply, if your new business concepts score well (4 or 5 stars out of 5, on all dimensions), you have a good chance of performing well. If they score low, the software prompts you to focus on improving the areas of weakness.
What is the overall value of the app?
Anyone with experience of entrepreneurial work knows most ideas just aren't destined for success. We've all had less-than-brilliant ideas and, worse, most of us have invested time, cash and effort in trying to create businesses based on those ideas. Velosus is simply a tool to give you early warning of bad ideas and an invaluable heads-up on the potentially-brilliant concepts. Moreover, self-employment and entrepreneurial work have been clearly linked to life-satisfaction and happiness. The fact is, more people probably should start new businesses. But we all know the abysmal statistics on long-term success rates. Anything to improve business performance is welcome.
How long will it take to use?
You can enter the data on your ideas in less than 2 minutes. You then get an instant rating of your ideas, and feedback. You will be able to absorb all the basic feedback within a few minutes. You can, if you wish, change your data inputs and track the effects on your idea-ratings.
by J####:
One of the big unspoken secrets of successful entrepreneurs are the ideas that *didn't* pay off. Or were successful. Or were anything but a waste of time. I found this app helped me narrow down my thought process so I could chuck away the bad ideas and keep the good. As well as giving some analysis there are some useful pointers to some key concepts which is a nice touch. Not a fan of the design hence 4 stars.
