Woke up one morning with a great idea...
I help companies imagine great products!
The only problem is...*I can’t actually build things*
I needed to find a Cofounder. Team. Investors. Users. Where to start?
How did I do it?I shared my idea with everyone who would listen!
By sharing this vision,I found an awesome cofounder...
And when I did find a cofounder,we could hit the ground running.
Behind each of ourgreatest successes was a shared vision.
“What if you could see the nearest places Anthony Bourdain has eaten wherever you go?”
“We’re looking for a Tristan”
“It will be likePandora for Food”
If I can picture something, it will happen.
If I don’t bother, it won’t.
Sharing your vision is the most importantthing a founder can do.
A shared vision canhelp you avoid commonmistakes startups make

Mistake 2:Thinking too small
Sharing your vision helps you:Impress investors

What kind of experience do you want to create? A revolutionary technology, a well executed product and a profitable business should not be ends in themselves. Focus on the ultimate experience and let everything else fall in line.

Having an answer to this question -- a concrete representation of where your product is headed -- can help you validate your ideas, impress investors, build a team and keep everyone in alignment.

Drawing from my experience applying methods learned at Adaptive Path to my own startup, Foodspotting, I'll share concrete tools you can use to create a big vision, communicate it to others and validate it, even before you start developing anything.
