Startup Founders – Are You In Rush To Start A Startup?
- markbao 18y agoI hate to say this, but I'm also in a rush to start a/some startup/s. Some have the following ideology with relation to startups: you snooze, you lose. The fastest products to the market are not always the best, but they are what they are: the first products to the market. Search for a HN post made the other day about your 1.0 and what features you should launch, and timing launches. Very insightful. Edit: here it is. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=175249 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=175249 For now, I'm staying undecided on this, and I'm going to see if there's a moment where I just say - Let's make this 1.0. Maybe that will be the right time. And yes, I realize that start != launch, but they're all the same idea.
- dennykmiu 18y agoI actually believe that there is a "rush" from the market opportunity standpoint, which explains why I am spending time on YCNews to learn about the ongoing activities from a younger generation of entrepreneurs (even though I myself am much older than a typical YC applicant). I have been writing about the two corner stones of this unfolding trend, "narrowcasting" which is the ability to profitably distribute customized products and services to a small population of customers, and "entre-sumers" which is the perfect union between the creator and the consumer of technology. My personal opinion is that for the younger generation of entrepreneurs, there is no better time to start startups than now. http://gigaom.com/?s=denny+miu http://gigaom.com/?s=denny+miu
