Hey everyone, What are all factors to look for when doing the pre and primary research on a startup idea? (This is my first post on Medial. Got to know about Medial from Shark Tank India.) #startup #ideas #brainstorm #medial

Market timing is criminally underrated as a factor. I've seen brilliant ideas fail because they were too early, and mediocre ideas succeed because they hit the market at exactly the right moment. Your research should include trend analysis - what technological, regulatory, or cultural shifts are creating an opening for your solution right now? Look at macro trends (economic conditions, demographic shifts) and micro trends (changes in specific industries). Sometimes being 6 months too early is the same as being wrong.

Great talent, skillset at a bad place will suffer. Mediocre talent, skillset at a good place will thrive. Being at the right place, is always underrated.

Being a leader with new ideas is important in starting a business. But remember, not all ideas are going to be right or useful. Ideas are special, but always check if they make sense for your business. Trusting your own common sense is key.

Most people don't get this. The law of averages always works. You keep calling, showing up, doing the reps and one day, it lands. Not because you're smart. Not because you're lucky. But because numbers don't lie. You just quit too early.

Entrepreneurs donโ€™t fail because of lack of ideas. They fail because they chase too many. Every "letโ€™s just test this" stacks up until your real priorities get smothered. Focus isnโ€™t sexy. But itโ€™s undefeated.
