the TDD process isn't relevant to the high level "problems" I want to solve In most businesses the opposite is true. Test Driven Development isn't really about testing low-level functions, it's about making sure the code and the business logic behave in the same way. TDD really comes into its own when you start using the tests as documentation on how the system is supposed to perform. A company using TDD can very quickly adapt to change because they can be confident in their code. The reasons TDD isn't suited to startups is more that it's a heavy process which doesn't fit well with a small, tech-heavy group of people who aren't selling code.
