Building a quick proof-of-concept is the ultimate first date. You find immediately if the architecture and the workflow are actually worth committing to before scaling.

My idea and I are going through a rough patch right now... again! But the make-up coding sessions are totally worth it and I know we'll be inseparable again in a day or two! It's complicated but it works. 🤷🏾‍♂️

That hits the nail on the head. Most founders jump all in the second they get an idea, never stopping to check if it actually fits them. Dating your idea to polish it before committing makes way more sense. Figuring out the right direction always beats rushing blindly into the wrong road.

The last date I went on was in 1974. Fun date, lousy marriage. It's a good point though. Trust your instincts, not your motives. When something feels "right," you know.

The second date is where the idea meets reality. Does the problem keep showing up? Will someone change behavior or pay to solve it? Founder instinct matters, but repeated evidence is what turns attraction into commitment.

"Complexity is interesting to me. Things that are not sexy on the surface is also weirdly interesting." "Especially if you can see that it's sexy but people don't understand yet." "That's where the sparkle in your eye, you kinda go, 'You don't see what I see, and I'm pretty sure I'm right'. And that's the fun part." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Uber's original culture had a value Ben Horowitz still quotes, "meritocracy and toe-stepping." Travis Kalanick kept it at Atoms, under a new name: Ben: "We're here to build. We're gonna do it. We're gonna push as hard as we can, and yeah, you may get your toe stepped on, but you gotta keep going... In some ways it was the core part." Travis: "At Atoms we call it 'The Best Idea Wins.' But the toe-stepping is important, because there's so many people that are not willing to fight for the best idea 'cause they're gonna upset somebody else." "If you don't fight for the best idea, then what idea are you fighting for? You're fighting for the mediocre idea, the politically expedient idea, an idea that's gonna make you less good than if you went for the best idea." "Having everybody oriented towards that is a cultural vibe that helps you win." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth

Sam Altman on the importance of surrounding yourself with people who don’t shoot down your ideas “Good ideas are not a solo endeavor. You want to find a group of smart people that you can start bouncing things off of… You don’t just sit in a room and write on the window with the whiteboard pen and have the good ideas come to you. Good ideas come because you talk to people.” But Sam stresses that this comes with an important caveat: surround yourself with people who build on your ideas rather than shoot them down: “Ideas are very fragile. So when you find this set of people to start talking about ideas with, you want people who don’t immediately shoot down a bad, half-baked idea… You want people who will say, ‘Well, that sounds crazy unlikely to work, but think how big it could be if it did work.’.. And then you can figure out how to make it work if you want.” Source: Stanford Online (Apr 2017)

before you go "all in" on an idea...give it a week. most of the ideas you think are THE ONE, are usually not. you waste time splitting focus, and lose energy to keep going. if you're still just as excited about it in one week, then go ahead and build it.

Jony Ive: “Ideas are always fragile” “Ideas—by definition—are always fragile. If they were resolved, they wouldn’t be ideas. They would be products that were ready to ship.” The legendary Apple designer continues: “I’ve come to learn that you have to make an extraordinary effort not to focus on the problems, which are implicated with any new idea. These problems are known. They’re quantifiable and understood. But you have to focus on the actual idea, which is partial, tentative, and unproven.” All new ideas have problems, and if you don’t suspend your disbelief and trust that you will find a solution, you will lose faith in your idea. “That is why criticism and focusing on the problems can be so damaging—particularly in the absence of a constructive idea. Remember, opinions are not ideas. Opinions are not as important as ideas. Opinions are just opinions.” Source: California College of the Arts

Ben Horowitz on the importance of culture: "A culture is not a set of ideas, it’s a set of actions." "If you define your culture as a kind of set of ideas—integrity, do the right thing, we have each other’s backs, or any of these ‘corporate values’—it’s actually just a bunch of platitudes. It doesn’t mean anything. The culture has to be defined in terms of the exact behavior you want that support that idea." "It’s the little things—how responsive are you to your colleagues? What’s the SLA on returning a Slack message or an email? Do you show up to meetings on time?" "We have an idea about—you have to respect the entrepreneur... you can’t ever be late to a meeting with an entrepreneur. I used to fine people $10/minute in the beginning of the firm to reinforce it." Source: benahorowitz.eth on Invest Like the Best with Patrick OShaughnessy

Q: How will I know when it’s the right time to go full-time on a startup idea? Tony Fadell is the co-creator of the iPod, iPhone, and Nest. As he puts it in the clip below: “Great ideas chase you.” He continues: “In this world, there are so many people who have more ideas than they have time to implement… I used to be like that. But the best ideas are the ones that you can really focus on… Now I try to run away from a great idea. And then it stalks me. It hunts you down because you’re like: ‘Ah, that’s going to have this problem, I’m going to put it aside.’ And then a few days later, you’re like: ‘Actually I think I know how to solve that problem.’ At some point it just becomes this black hole that sucks you in and you can’t think about anything else but this.” Mark Zuckerberg gave similar advice in a previous Startup Archive answer: “I always think the most important thing entrepreneurs should do is pick something they care about and work on it, but don’t actually commit to turning it into a company until it’s working. If you look at the data of the very best companies, I think a tremendous percentage of them have been built that way and not from people who decided upfront that they wanted to start a company because you just get locked into a local maxima a lot of the time.” Let great ideas chase you and don’t turn it into a company until it’s working. There’s almost always a ton of work you you can do upfront to de-risk an idea before turning it into a company. And perhaps just as important: you want to make sure you’re still excited about the idea after a few months and the novelty has worn off—it should be all you can think about. Companies are almost always a 10 year project if they work and a 2-3 year project if they fail. It’s worth it to be patient before jumping in with two feet.

The problem is they need to come up with new ideas for a company basically every week. Crazy new ideas, big changes, all the time. We tried an experiment once at YC where we funded 20 teams of strong founders who didn't have ideas but were otherwise really good. They all failed.

AI is turning designs into code at unprecedented speed. Excellent insights from Evan Spiegel, founder of Snap: 1. The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas. 2. The whole world of design is changing rapidly because designers are empowered by AI and can ship and test immediately. 3. If you were to sit in on a Snap design meeting you’d hear us go through a huge volume of work. 100s of ideas in a few hours. 4. The most toxic thing you can have is people attached to an idea. 5. If you create a culture where there’s an endless flow of ideas you’re much more likely to get lucky and find a great one. 6. Less than 1% of the ideas we discuss are ever seen by a user. 7. Ideas are free. There should be a zillion of them. 8. Design to code is happening way faster than ever before. [And this trend will only accelerate]
