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.

The Entrepreneurial mindset with Meetup Chairman Kevin Ryan

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


and here too-

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

Reverse index

Looking at this overloaded  page on typesense , I wanted to understand some of the terms. A  good example  of reverse index is when you have to search for 234, 235, 236. Here it makes sense to find the differeing last number sooner than the initial long, same numbers.  The time to  dynamically reconstruct inverted index  is important.

Music and NFT

Like  Audius  could   Spotify and othe rmusic companies let both their company and a network be controlled by token holders. Of the 11B music industry, how much can be NFT driven? Solana block chain Which existing blockchain/NFT platforms can add music to their offerings? If they cant add, what stops them from it? Is it fragmented customer base when it comes to music choice? Are cetain types of music lovers more congregative? Is enjoying music seen as a solitary hobby or as a group one? For example, our fitness instructor realises that different kind of people have different taste when it comes to workout music and hence asks if we want hers on or not.
