He joined Odeo, a podcasting startup. But there was a problemâno one at Odeo actually cared about podcasting. âWe were not building tools for us. We were building tools for other people.â Odeo struggled. They needed a new idea. Thatâs when Jack pitched something differentâTwitter. It wasnât solving a big problem. It wasnât backed by market research. It was just something they wanted to use. âTwitter solves no oneâs problem at all. It was something we wanted to see in the world.â They built it anyway. And soon, millions of others wanted it too. But hereâs the real lesson: Twitter wasnât even a startup at first. It was just a side project inside a dying company. âEntrepreneurship is not about starting a company. Itâs about taking a risk to build what you want to see in the world.â Most people chase ideas they think will make money. Jack and his team chased what excited them. Thatâs how Twitter happened. So stop waiting for the perfect startup idea. Build what you wish existed. The world might just want it too. Follow Vishu Bheda for more valuable startup insights from the world's best founders!
