A thread on market sizing - part II.

Sometimes words have unintended consequences. On a thread on estimating #marketsize for #startups I picked up sizing fresh produce in Karachi.

Here are some more thoughts and qualifiers.
1/ One word. Don't.

Just because a large market exist doesn’t mean that you should try and tackle it. Even if it is USD18 billion in size.

Great ideas and markets need to pass a few tests before you spend a few years of your live trying to make them work.
2/ A second look on fresh produce in Karachi.

I am not a fan of the fresh produce market. Admittedly it looks attractive because of its size. It isn’t.

It is a terrible market. The big issues are operational complexity, credit and cold chain.

0/ Estimating market sizes.

A thread for #desi #founders and #startups

How do you estimate #marketsize for your products and services? A list of things to do and ...
1/ Numbers maketh the man

Please don’t quote numbers you don’t own, haven’t derived or understand for your market size.

You are the founder, do the math yourself. Make sure they validate

With apologies to #Kingsmen + @colinfirth_kr numbers, not manners, maketh the man.
2/ Avoid lazy thinking.

It is a bad idea to quote a multi-lateral agency report for Asia for a problem that you are solving.

Don’t tell me that according to World Bank, IMF, IFC or ADB, the FinTech market in Asia will be worth 4 trillion USD in 2030.
