The Startup Ideas Podcast

The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.

Back to Beliefs

Success comes from building velocity, not perfect planning

Evidence

Examples of Twitter (from Odeo), Instagram (from Burbn), OpenAI (from API to ChatGPT) - all pivoted from original ideas through building

Implication

Focus on increasing build frequency and learning extraction rather than upfront research and planning

Counter Belief

Strategic planning and market research prevent wasted effort and increase success probability

Example Application

Set goal to ship 3 products in 3 months rather than spending 3 months planning the perfect product
