- The scavenger mindset strategy needs a large inventory to curate over.
- The scavenger mindset is not "create new things," it's "take existing things that I can take for granted and combine them into novel combinations."[cj]

- Existing products in your portfolio
- Pre-existing prototypes
- Existence proofs of viable products from competitors
- Team strengths
