The Startup Ideas Podcast
The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.
Build-to-Learn Framework
A development philosophy where you continuously build and ship products to discover what you actually want to create, rather than waiting for the perfect idea
How It Works
Each built product teaches you about your interests, market needs, and development preferences, guiding you toward your ultimate winning idea
Components
Choose any reasonable idea and start building immediately
Ship quickly to get real user feedback
Learn from what you enjoyed building and what users actually use
Iterate or pivot based on learnings
Apply insights to next build cycle
When to Use
When you're unsure about product direction, when starting as a solo founder, when you have development capabilities but lack clarity on market needs
When Not to Use
When you have clear market validation and user demand, when resources are extremely limited, when regulatory compliance is critical
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“Jack Dorsey built Odeo (podcasting app), learned users only cared about text updates, pivoted to create Twitter”
