How to get into startup mode?


1. Startup school for future founders

You get to hear many entrepreneurs talk. Choose your favorite products and find out the founders stories as well as how did it evolve from the initial MVP to product stage. When you get to working about 20 hours a week on your startup, you can move to the active founders stage where you get more help.

2. Be in a community of builders

Be where startup founders are.


3. Go to meeting of accelerators where founders and investors meet

You can get an idea of the momentum of different stages of founders. 

4. Stay curious

This led me to the wonderful talk of Crossing the enterprise chasm.  

5. Find a problem

your own

your friends

other peoples problem



Sounds like there is something useful in that, in terms of MVP ideas

After the startup magic -

Isnt this a work of beauty, to be able to talk to your customers and find out what they need or where the product needs to improve? I would have easily passed this off but having read The untold story of Stripe and trying to add a payment feature to a site, it just changes how you as a user can feel the work behind the conveniences when you have seen how to create it. This is where some smart saying from Steve Jobs fits - 

And you can change it-you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. - Steve Jobs
