Moving on to how to startup series class, I spent time watching Lecture 13: How To Be A Great Founder by Reid Hoffman
My notes for his class:
- Network network network.
- VC always tends to invest in company with co-founders as they compliment each other.
- Right place to start a right business like finance related startup makes more sense in Mumbai.
- Go talk to smart people and listen to their suggestions on your idea.
- You have to be both flexible and persistent.
- You have to be both confident as well as cautious.
- Listen to feedback, criticism
- Data as well as vision are important for your product.
- Be smart & take intelligent, focussed risk.
- Solve short term vision immediately, but do keep eye on your long term vision.
- Product needs to go out in the market ASAP its ready, product distribution is key.
