Deep dives
Service-Based Startups vs. Technical Co-Founding
The decision-making process between starting a service-based company and co-founding a tech startup hinges primarily on an individual's understanding of the problem they seek to address. Many individuals with technical skills often receive proposals for equity in ideas without a strong foundation in the problem at hand, which can lead to failure in creating valuable solutions. By starting with a service-based model, one gains insights into real-world challenges, ultimately uncovering genuine needs that can inform tech-based solutions. This shift from solution-oriented thinking to problem-oriented thinking is essential for developing scalable and successful businesses.
