Describing an idea in sufficient detail for someone else to program it is probably harder than actually programming it. Thus, the person who is just a hustler, or just an idea person, will get outcompeted by the person who is both.
- bjornsing 4y agoI agree. I don’t want to be a 100% “idea person”. But I think I could be pretty good at the initial phase of “deep tech” startups: building a prototype, recruiting a team and raising pre-seed money. Perhaps there’s an established model where I could do that again and again? And if not, perhaps creating such a model is my calling. :)
- darkerside 4y agoThat's pretty much the model. It just takes much more work than it sounds like. Building and pivoting the prototype to find product market fit, building a team that doesn't such and buys into your vision otherwise they don't work for peanuts, and selling that vision is even harder with investors for the capital. If you can do all that with a Type 2 mindset, nobody is stopping you.
