I believe they do. I think we're getting too caught up in this concept of fail fast, fail early, fail often and we're not sticking with ideas long enough to see if they could be a success.
After all, sometimes ideas don't fail because of the idea, they fail because of execution or sales or marketing. In which case moving on to a new idea is not going to yield any better results. People should stick with their current idea while learning all the other stuff they need to know to succeed and stop blaming the idea.

- dageshi 15y agoI guess it's because it's easier? If you've done a v1.0 of a startup learnt some lessons, you look around and see what's "hot" right now, you see what investors/angels are throwing money at and think "I can take the lessons I just learnt and apply it to insert hot market here and this time I might have some money to work with".

It's just that when you're stuck on your current idea, creating a new idea _seems_ easier - but it's a false economy. > apply it to insert hot market here I don't chase what other people are doing, that's for the samwer brothers ;) (although let's not forget they have multi-millions so they are probably successful by their own defenition)
