v3 of MWW Customer Development Framework
This playbook guides MWW’s user research, sales and feedback/reviews gathering exercises and outreaches, towards learning more about our market and ultimately achieving product-market fit, adoption, and growth.
1. Context
The goal of this ongoing set of initiatives is to build a company with the product we’ve built by validating it actually meets the need of the market and they’re willing to pay for it. Over the past months, we’ve been learning with the first version of our product, after this learning process, we were able to identify the first bet towards defining a strong value proposition for Meetwithwallet, something which meets the need of the market we are looking at serving. The previous research before this can be found at:
We have been able to build out a solution out of the learning from the previous research, and we are going back to learn if this is actually a problem that users have, towards achieving Product-Market Fit. We will be deploying a proven framework for achieving this which is the Lean Product Methodology: Customer Development Framework.
2. Objective
In this phase of work, we are looking at attaining clarity in Customer Discovery, Customer Validation, Customer Creation, Achieving product market fit and Growth. We will distill these different phases of customer development into Initiatives and iteratively following through.

Our initial outreach aims to engage these target audiences, understand their scheduling challenges, and introduce MWW as a potential solution.
Channels for Outreach:
- Social Media Platforms: Twitter, LinkedIn, and relevant web3 Discords or forums.

7. Customer Development Initiatives

Data Collection and Synthesis

We’ll log all interactions and outreaches here:
Research Summary and Next Steps
After the research and synthesizing all feedbacks into insights, we should be able to have a document containing the key next steps to take. This could be:
- Preparing an offer for the interviewees whose pain points matches our current solution.
- Do a follow-up on the interviews to make the offer and ask for feedback and reviews subsequently or write a case study with them - More details here.
- Make a list of feature ideas based on other learning to inform next phase of product development.
- Keep communicating with the current users we have by collecting their email to send them subsequent updates - prepare a form for this.
Initiative 2: Customer Validation
At this stage, we know a lot about our “prospective customers/users” and what they need, we should then focus on developing a scalable sales funnel. This is to ensure that the product can be profitable in the long run.
We need to run a workshop for this to be able to develop a customer acquisition and sales strategies that work - based on previous record of working for other businesses/Units at RnDAO.
TO-DO: Ask for a Customer Validation Process workshop from Daniel.
Initiative 3: Customer Creation, Sales and Marketing
— this stage is about identifying key messages, channels, platforms and marketing experiments to run based on how users have been using our product. This stage should start once we have at least 50 positive feedbacks to show product-market fit.

From here, we keep building, learning and improving.
