most products are things you don't need. look at facebook, you don't need that shit, yet you use it, and you want it. i would say that 80% of SV startups make things you don't need. they just think you need it, and throw a bunch of money at it to satisfy some ego or lifelong dream. a lot of things in life are things you want but not need. so the money is in making things people want, not need.
- _benj 5y agoThis might the the case in B2C but wren in B2B a startup can make a product that paid for itself, say, improves a process or removes frictions or automated something or any other business needs that are tedious… that is a gold mine! Been looking but haven’t found my gold mine yet…
- laserlight 5y agoThanks for your clarification. First sentence should have read: A marketer is of no use if nobody wants your product.
- mettamage 5y agoAmen. Glad to think I'm not the only one thinking this way. Seeing this comment, blockchain startups make a lot more sense :)
