Completely agree, but I'm looking for an outlet to share my ideas that I won't execute on and a way to critique ideas. Partly for fun, shared knowledge, through exercises for why an idea may or may not take off...
I actually am (and have been for 2 years) executing on one idea. And I'm learning a ton...
- kingsidharth 16y agoWell that's the point - there is not much learning in critiquing ideas. Just assumptions and personal opinion. No one liked Google or Twitter as Ideas. But anyways, since you've been executing, the next question is - shipping. What have you shipped and how often do you ship something out there? Working on an idea forever in your own private corner is not a good learning either.
- bdclimber14 16y agoDifferent perspective than I have, but you're right that Google/Twitter at face value aren't anything. Well I am good at shipping. OrangeSlyce.com is the manifestation of an idea I had 2 years ago (which has changed), and we pivot, on some level (may be very small) every 2 weeks.
- kingsidharth 16y agoThat's awesome then. IMO Discussing the problem you want to solve with your idea is more useful than discussing the idea itself. Btw, my startup Besperk ( http://besperk.com http://besperk.com ) is about discussing such things. Interesting I meet you.
- swombat 16y agoIf all you want to do is pitch ideas and get feedback on them, the best place I've found for that is startup-related meetups. In London, there's DrinkTank, HNLondon, and others. There's probably some free events where you live too.. if not, set one up!
- bdclimber14 16y agoThat's funny you said that... I actually did start a meetup in Phoenix, AZ called Young Entrepreneur Mixer. We get about 20 or so people come and share ideas and such.
