"their ideas aren’t that unique"
A successful business consists of customers and money, not unique ideas.
I would say that the idea behind a business is one of the least useful things of a business. It helps with marketing, recruitment, and sales, but really, the idea itself is irrelevant. Execution counts for much, much more.
In fact, the idea that ideas must be unique is the #1 problem with startups. There's plenty of space in the market for companies doing what other companies are doing, but just better.
- lazide 3y agoThe challenge is, a lot of 'non-technical founders' are obsessed with the idea and consider it their 'golden ticket' reason for getting everything, and completely discount actual execution. Often the attitude is because 'execution is someone else's problem who doesn't matter much, I can just pay them peanuts'. Which is why all the hate from the engineering side, because they aren't looking for a technical co-founder but someone to do all the actual work while being told they don't matter. Often while being paid like they don't matter either.
