From the Paper:

"Once the opportunity has been established, setting up a strategy is the next step. This is the essence of a new venture and the part that has to be defined exactly right. Strategy takes on a grassroots approach looking at the market from a customer's point of view. What does the customer really want out of this product? What customer value is our competitor not answering? Responses to these questions are the substance to strategy as they lay out what is different about a company and why a customer or client would choose them over somebody else."
