I’ve seen so many products and companies come and go. So many startups pitch their thing but fail to get whatever they thought they needed to continue.

And I see lots of solutions to the same problems, just with one minor difference compared to the next. I have to wonder what we’re doing here. It’s to win big, isn't it? Everyone’s just playing the lottery.

Here’s a thought: build something *you* want. Don’t solve someone else’s problem. Solve problems that you have. Maybe others want that too.

@louie Plus it sounds really great to write in your pitch deck "I had problem X and so I had to build company Y to solve it"!

Oh wait.......
