"You think you can't sell the idea until you have a product. This is a major killer - you think that as soon as you have feature X or Y, you can start showing people your idea. One more time - if you can't sell the idea, you can't sell the product"
What a confusing statement --chicken or the egg
I believe most of the articles on startups are just noise.
- dshah 18y agoWhat I think he is trying to say is that you should be able to test the concept/idea without building the full product.
- volida 18y agoassuming the original idea will probably change until you have a product, it is not really substantial to make that argument. I assume a product is something you can sell, so it's natural that attitude towards making it succesful will make you realise the need to alter the idea or how to make it appealing. It's something like a prerequestie. I say most articles are noise because the advice is generic. A more precise post "how I reacted to situation X" is probably more worth.
