What we can learn from startups
Too many startups begin with an idea for a product that they
think people want. They then spend months, sometimes
years, perfecting that product without ever showing the
product, even in a very rudimentary form, to the prospective
customer.
When they fail to reach broad uptake
from customers, it is often because they never
spoke to prospective customers and
determined whether or not the product
was interesting.
When customers ultimately communicate,
through their indifference, that they don't care
about the idea, the startup fails.
