How To Get Best Startup ideas 💡⁉️ The best way to come up with startup ideas is to notice them organically. Y Combinator's President revealed that 70% of their top 100 most successful companies generated ideas this way, rather than through explicit brainstorming. This insight can help aspiring entrepreneurs approach idea generation more effectively. To position yourself for organic idea generation, Sam recommends becoming an expert in a valuable field. This expertise allows you to spot business opportunities more easily. Working at an existing startup is an excellent way to gain this knowledge, as it exposes you to innovative practices and teaches you about the industry. For programmers, building things from scratch that personally interest you can be a fruitful approach. Even if these projects don't seem like clear business ideas initially, they can evolve into startups over time. This method aligns with the organic idea generation process and can lead to unexpected opportunities.
