Ask HN: How do you know which startup concept to develop?
Ideas for startups are a dime a dozen; what really matters is trying one out and seeing how it does. But given a large number of reasonable ideas - how do you know which one to develop?
If you yourself started a company how did YOU know it was "the one?" And how did you quash your doubts?
- redspark 14y agoBasics of Lean Startup. Go through the loop until you find product/market fit. At that point you should be able to develop the product with customers waiting for your launch.
- acoyfellow 14y agoI agree with this. I feel much less "confused" after reading The Lean Startup, and start embracing the mentality.
