Notes from Jared Friedman's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th8JoIan4dg&t=1460s
Note: please watch and "like" the video. I've transcribed these notes to make it easy to use Jared's advice to evaluate your own startup ideas.
- Are you solving a real problem, or are you a "solution in search of a problem" (SISP)?
- Are you working on a "tar pit" idea? (Widespread problem, plausible solution, but with a tricky structural problem. Example: app for making weekend plans.) Suggestion: first google the idea to understand how other people have failed before.
- Have you evaluated your idea thoroughly?
