Cognitive Biases & Opportunity Validation

3 Levels of Validation:

Survey’s & “Do You Like My Idea”

Situational Methods

Doing Things That Don’t Scale

What you want to do vs. what you should do.

It’s not easy, and naturally we’ll want to “play house”. Starting a startup is where “playing the game” stops working.

Opportunity recognition, at it’s core, is validating that people want what you’re going to make.

– Paul Graham“Make something people want.”

If you want to build something that people want, you need to know

what they want.

Don’t ask people for money because you want money. Ask for money because you want the truth.
