Most startup ideas don’t fail. They never get off the ground.
If you ask around a bit, you’ll quickly realize that ideas actually pop up everywhere. Many people eventually have that moment when they think, “There must be a better way to solve this.” This can happen while you’re in university, at work, or even just in everyday life.
But the hard part doesn’t start until after that. The moment you ask yourself what the next step actually is, how to test it, who to talk to about it, or whether this idea might actually amount to something, the ideas fade away again. Not because they’re bad, but because no one really knows where to start.
Perhaps that’s one of the most important tasks of a good startup ecosystem: making it easier for people to take that first step.
When did you first have an idea that, in theory, could have become a startup?
