@pskocik Жыл бұрын

Customer validation vs. "my customers would just want faster horses" is a decades old dilemma. There's downsides to validation too. If you have a sufficiently unique idea and are fairly certain of a market need, it might be better to just go ahead and build it instead of giving better financed competition tips, IMO. I think startups are like bio-evolution. All kinds of organisms succeed despite employing sometimes completely opposite strategies.

@enricotartarotti Жыл бұрын

Fully agree! that's what the last part of the video is about: if you can build something in a week/weekend, just YOLOing it is better than fancy interviews

@sao5060 Жыл бұрын

@@enricotartarotti I don't think the first car was done in a weekend though. The truly unique ideas that can't be validated will probably usually take a lot longer to execute than a couple of days or a week.

@iFuzzle Жыл бұрын

@@sao5060 but cars are built upon other solutions. Especially the first cars have mostly been replacing horses with engines that drive an axis with 2 wheels, right? That Tech existed already (factories on the rise and even before that horses powering wheels and gears) and was probably doable in about a week.

@willzarke Жыл бұрын

I think the most appropriate take away I get from the video is less about customer validation about YOUR SOLUTION but about THEIR PROBLEMS. Sure, they might not know that cars is a way better product than horses, but unless you truly understand what the problem the customers have with horses, we might never consider a car as a solution. The key for customer validation is to frame the correct problem statement to solve, then the solution can be either innovative or practical.

@reprovedcandy Жыл бұрын

Hmm. I generally think validating, not trying to keep your idea secret, is the better choice. Most people aren't going to go "steal" your idea and work on it. They'll let you validate it and if they see it becoming successful THEN they'll try to steal it. But, they usually don't want to waste their time on an untested idea lol

Thank you. This is the best Startup validation idea video I have watched, particularly because of the end. I had a startup idea, I watched a few videos on KZfaq for validating a startup idea, they all kept warning of building something no one wants, but this made me realize that I am not loosing anything by going ahead to build it, since I'm a designer and I would use no code tools. The idea is actually solving the problem that I had, and I am passionate about solving it, such that even if no one would pay for it, I would still build it just for myself.

If you have one group of similar people who have a similar problem, make sure to find similar people who don't have the same problem. That way you can better identify the exact extent of the problem. You will also avoid wasting resources on building a too generic solution or one that already exists in part or as a whole and people just haven't found it or haven't figured out how to solve their problem with it. Some consumers are isolated and don't properly understand their problem or they don't actually care about the problem enough to throw money at you for solving it.
