I actually think that this road is too slow šŸ¤ As I see it, there are two ways startup can start: āžœ Bring value (Vitamins) āžœ Solve a problem (Painkillers) Community driven startups as you mentioned are mostly value driven. But I think this is too slow. I would rather suggest to find a problem, figure out a solution, no-code something and start talking to users šŸ˜„ There are a lot of Notion Templates for example on PH and I believe that everyone could build an MVP now and get something going. This is definitely faster and can iterate infinite numbers of times to the product-market-fit šŸš€

@ralic oI agree to what you said but don't you think it's more like phase 2 for someone who's starting up

@shivi_jalota actually not, I strongly believe that you should go as soon as possible out of your confront zone straight to the market šŸ˜‚ I do that all the time. For example when I wanted to understand how the Appsumo works instead of binging all the videos and searching the web, I've built a simple icon set in a few hours and launched it there. It failed miserably but the point was for me to learn not earn šŸ˜„ @qudsia_ali has a good point as well joining a startup is also a great alternative. Quite a few of my previous team members now have a startup of their own šŸš€

Before you start making a site just need to learn SEO, ie the risk that you will have to redo everything from scratch.

The only difference between learning in an MNC and startup is - startups teach you a lot of things. You are involved in almost every department. You get opportunity to work on different projects. The prospective of learning increases. This is quite insightful.

yea, after a while, reading doesn't help. Even though you have a degree in something or read about it, it's a whole different ball game when it comes to putting theory into practice. If anyone needs help with this, I would suggest a book that helps you puts things into practice, and it all has to do with MINDSET. The book is mindset, by Carol Dweck
