Hustling your early users is a great idea - I'd put this at the top of the list.
Planning to grow into something else is dangerous, though. To paraphrase Peter Thiel, you should be wary of building a startup that's a two-stage rocket. If the first stage works, you can and should stick with it; if it doesn't, you'll never make it to stage two.
- dustingetz 13y agoSomeone good enough to execute a two stage startup on purpose (Bezos, Musk) are not relying on luck as compared to the rest of SV startup lottery. I think many of the young and arrogant "kid CEOs" would be better off in the long run by overcoming their ego, go and hustle the smartest mature CEO they can find into hiring them. Defer taking your own risks until you are actually in control of them.
