We have a plan!
Step 1) “Generating Ideas” in one day
Step 2) “Investigate Idea” in two days
Step 3) if pass do “Customer Interviews” in three days… else back to “Generating Ideas”, rinse/repeat
These can be non original cause let’s face it, many ideas have been dreamed of, pitched by, tried out by someone out there. It depends on the application, execution, market timing and the team. Actually we should be starting with a problem to solve not a solution. That would be more lean startup. Might have to rename this step to Generating Problems to Solve. In any event, yesterday we completed the first step. Kevin and I have voted for ~drrrum rrrroll~ Helping guest share photos at weddings! We are hashing out our next steps.Bam
