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
