What to Build?

1 points by CIAOBENGA 10mo ago ↗ HN

Just wondering how people figure out how to work on projects that end up being unicorns, sure find a problem and create a solution but sometimes its like there's already a solution to every problem and when you start building something everyone else magically starts working on the same thing, is there a clear framework on how to avoid tarpit ideas?

1. Just solve a problem. Just one problem.

2. Commercialize it.

3. Sales.

4. Expand your offerings incrementally.

5. Don't become over leveraged to investors.

sure. think original stuff. not another SaaS. but the biggest caveat is it's novelty cuz it's not a recognized idea in the main stream. But it will sure give you a piece of mind. And you can raise funding from fellowships. I mean, if i tell you about myself, i've tried raising funds. Let's see how it goes.

I am working on a novel idea called Emergent Intelligence. Not an AI at all btw.
