Description
Lots of entrepreneurs spend their time trying to figure out if their startup idea is "good." They wonder if they can raise funding and build a team. But so much of our idea evaluation ignores the most fundamental building block of a startup - the magic moment that will spur organic growth. There is no funding or team or business without that initial magic, so maybe the best route is to reverse engineer a business from that moment?On today's episode, we talk through a startup where people gather together to tread water, comparing it to Peloton and Mirror, and talk about starting with a moment and working backwards.
