Pattern-breaking ideas, and startups that change the world (with Mike Maples)
Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
* Examples of questions Maple encourages founders to ask *
Founders should rigorously assess their ideas by asking critical questions that uncover the underlying insights and implications of their concepts. They need to identify the specific inflections or changes in the world that their idea responds to and analyze how it empowers individuals, including who benefits from this empowerment and under what circumstances. Additionally, founders must determine the insights that their idea utilizes, focusing on how these insights can lead to radical change and what makes them unique or non-consensus. Founders should also consider the temporal origins of their ideas, questioning whether they stem from current realities or anticipated futures, and reflecting on what conditions shape that envisioned future.
