Overview:
A Prototype can be the first step towards developing a full-fledged product or service. A prototype can be developed for various purposes - gathering market feedback, raising money, or for testing technical feasibility. Prototyping can be done for products as well as services; the idea is to carry out low cost and low-scale development which captures the important elements of your final offering.
Pre-requisites:
You need to carry out product or service design before developing a prototype. In most cases, you should also have a business plan ready before prototyping, so that you use the prototype most effectively. It is also important to be clear about the objectives that you are trying to fulfil from the prototyping.

Use the Resource Bank to find out service providers who can carry out prototyping for you.
