The process behind the creation of Safespot, from concept to cutting-edge cybersecurity solution.
Design.
The idea for Safespot was born from exploration research aimed at identifying new market segments and customer pain points. It other words, it’s a product of popular demand.
Customer validation techniques were used to fine-tune Safespot’s features, branding, pricing, and positioning. Within three months, the team had a fully developed business case with price sensitivity checks and a value proposition road-map.

- Pitch deck building
Build.
The first step entailed creating a team to build the actual product. The second step involved establishing partnerships with external vendors who had the technological expertise to accelerate our go-to-market. As a final step, we did a bit of fine-tuning on the MVP using validation and MVP development sprints.
With the support of Telenet’s IT, engineering, and legal departments, Safespot was ready to launch within 3 months.
- Validation sprints
- Positioning
- Development of MVP marketing strategy
- Telenet IT and engineering integration
- Leveraged Telenet’s legal expertise
- Updated business case
Launch.
Preparing for the launch meant creating a complete, check-out process for clients, having a support squad ready to answer client questions and requests, and organizing a variety of press releases to create buzz around the new product.
After 12 months and 11 days of intensive ideation, customer validation, partnership closing, and building an alpha product, Safespot was finally ready to be unveiled. The official launch took place on the 9th of December, 2019, after some last-minute legal approvals and technical product adjustments.

Grow.
With the launch out of the way, the next challenge for Safespot is to move from its incubator phase into an acceleration phase with the goal of scaling up to meet increased client demand.
Our vision for the future of Safespot includes adding additional features to make it even more effective in protecting the home, tackling new challenges as they evolve. We’re also looking to broaden our market interdependencies with other vendors so that we can offer clients a broader set of features and services.
