Fucking hell that's an awful post.
Lean Startup is great but you should realise the value of investing in good design. Don't go down a rabbit hole of 'big vision' design perfection straight away, sure (a $50k set of Photoshop comps before you've got product-market fit isn't a great idea) but you're not going to get very far with a fucking Unbounce template.
Hire a good designer—one who knows how to do 'early stage startup'—and flourish.
- larsmak 13y agoI tend to agree. The "start-up"-term has become so bloated that it hardly make any sense any more. To churn out hundreds of generic landing-pages based on templates, built with "start-up generators" wont create anything of value. "Don't have a product - no problem!" Get your idea out there and get that seed-round running - then you can surely hire some eager developer-monkeys to do the implementation.. wrong. IMHO a start-up is a game-changing idea; unique and ahead of it's time. Developing it should take time, and it should be risky - if not it will already have been done.
