Swiss ep 2025 - action plan session - team 3.2
Short Summary:
Team 3.2 of the Swiss EP 2025 action plan session discusses improvements to an existing business verification platform. The key changes involve enhancing the platform's structure for clearer verification processes (including ID verification and a tiered verification system with a city-government-backed "tick" similar to Twitter's verification). The goal is to accelerate the growth of startups, aiming for 10,000. Concerns are raised about the platform's current low visibility and the feasibility of achieving the ambitious goal within the proposed timeframe (2025, potentially extending to 2027). The team emphasizes the importance of under-promising and over-delivering.
Detailed Summary:
The transcript details a meeting of Team 3.2 focused on an existing business verification platform. The discussion can be broken down into the following sections:
Section 1: Platform Assessment and Proposed Changes: The team acknowledges the platform's functionality but identifies two necessary technical changes. The first is improving the structure of the business verification process, clarifying how ID verification is handled (using tag numbers and legal paperwork). The second is adding a second layer of verification, a city-government-backed verification mark ("green tick," "blue tick," etc.), aiming to enhance credibility and trust. This two-tiered system is intended to boost startup growth, targeting 10,000 startups.
Section 2: Concerns Regarding Platform Visibility and Feasibility: Team members express concern about the platform's low public awareness, even though it has existed for years. The absence of the individual responsible for the platform is noted. The action plan is described as an attempt to accelerate an already existing project.
Section 3: Timeframe and Goal Setting: A key discussion point revolves around the feasibility of achieving the 10,000 startup goal by 2025. Doubt is expressed, suggesting a potential extension to 2027. The team emphasizes the strategy of "under promise and over deliver" to manage expectations and ensure success.
