In order to set a marketing strategy in a discontinuous innovation market, you should strongly consider breaking your potential market into segments. A market segment is one section of a market. You will need to break your market up using natural market boundaries (geographic, age, interests, etc.) We will talk about how to choose a market segment a bit later. As you begin to think about segments, you can ask yourself three questions:

Segmenting your market is a good way to focus your marketing efforts. Marketing your product or service can be expensive and time consuming. If you focus on one segment, you can make a "bigger splash" in that segment. A bigger splash will create more word-of-mouth effect. Word-of-mouth is the most effective marketing tool of all. If you can get people talking about your product or service and they have good things to say, your business will flourish.

You do not need to segment at the Innovator Stage. At this point, you are still trying out your concept or product. As you get into the Visionary Stage, you should consider a few different segments that you feel comfortable with. By the time you reach the Pragmatist Stage, you should have your marketing focused onto one or two segments. It is difficult to be the "expert" in numerous segments. It is expensive and hard to manage.

Write a list of what you love. Who do you/would you love to work with? What group of people/animals are you drawn to? What groups do you already work with who bring you great joy? Children, seniors, women, etc. You can have more than one segment.

Venture capital, as an asset class, has historically enjoyed the highest rate of return versus other asset classes. Holding an alternative asset class, such as venture capital, in a portfolio has been shown to reduce overall portfolio risk despite the inherent risks of investing in private, early-stage companies. This results from fluctuations in asset values being tied to different variables than those present in the public markets.
