Some years ago,a guy started what later became a successful startup selling tickets to events. Obviously now the software does all the magic but it wasn't th case in the beginning,so the founder was making physical trips to ticket offices and purchasing tickets so he could then send to the app users.
- koube 6y agoThis is actually directly advocated in The Lean Startup book, with the example of a shopping app where the employees would go themselves to pick up food before building the actually shopping app. This sounds great for when the products works in the end, but I always wondered if this is really what we should be doing if we find out later that something actually can't be done or scaled well.
- cosmodisk 6y agoIn situation where automation is 'just round the corner+ $1B budget' it's probably better not to do but if the solution is know and can be realistically created,then why not? I use this at work quote often when people ask for automations: send couple of emails each day first to see how it works,and if it does, I'll then make an API for it.
