I started working on my startup and came up with a way better idea. Like change the world and how people work. I’m not normally the type to drink my own kool aid because it’s a rookie move, but I genuinely love this idea. I’m working on it in the background

I don’t have a great answer for this other than “what problems do you/your friends and family have?”

But this might help. Look up various businesses and find out what problems those businesses solve.

Don’t overthink this part, it’s literally the easiest part. This world we live in is plagued with not only problems, but also solutions that aren’t so great and could use competition (like how banks didn’t update their websites and app until they started getting killed by fintech apps that were so much better to use)

I don’t want to shit on MBAs because I do believe they have some value. But if your goal is to learn about business (running, scaling, raising money, etc.) then you’d do really well to start reading books about that stuff first. There’s TONS of threads on Reddit about book recommendations so you’ll have a field day doing that. After you’ve read a couple books I’d say to try it out yourself in the most risk-free way possible. There’s about a million ways to start a business, but one I’m doing now is building a brand on social media and getting customers and creating the product after I’ve found my market. It’s allowing me to fail completely and utterly without losing a dime (I mean I paid for Canva, but I wanted to learn that anyway so it’s an investment to me).

You’ll learn a lot by doing because doing is so different from the books. The books aren’t wrong, they’re just focused on different parts and make certain assumptions that aren’t always true early on. If I can give advice from a now 3 time failure and all time learner, business only comes down to one, not so simple thing, the customer. If you can crack the customer code (understanding your audience and giving them what they want, not what you want them to want) you’ll do well. I’m working on solving that for myself right now. I get a little closer each time.

Best of luck to you, mate!

I could probably build your idea with a no code platform (like bubble), I don’t know about 2 weeks, most people have full time jobs/schooling/family obligations. Maybe in a month or two though.

But I don’t think I would work with you based on this post. You sound like the type of person who is absolutely the problem. It’s possible that two people blew out on you, it happens all the time. But to assume you are in no way part of the problem and that your idea will go viral are two very big red flags for anyone with any experience.

My suggestion to you is to start doing the marketing, build a waitlist. And if you get enough sign ups people will be throwing money at you and begging to build this for you. If you have some spare time go on bubble.io and learn to build whatever you want for yourself. The marketing can be pretty low cost (if not completely free) if you build a brand on social media. If it fails, don’t go around casting blame on everyone and everything except yourself like you did here. Learn why it failed and use that knowledge to do better next time.

The same way you pursue any other entrepreneurial endeavor, find people with a problem, solve their problem, monetize the solution. There’s more than one grocery store, pest control company, and dog food manufacturer in the world, and there’ll be more than one AI that can do any given task.
