🚨 Why most startup ideas FAIL (and how to spot the ones that won't): ❌ Solving fake problems. ❌ Chasing perfect ideas. ❌ Getting stuck in “tarpit” ideas that look good but never work. ❌ Skipping evaluation. Bad idea? Or billion-dollar trap? Use this 10-step filter 🔍 1. Founder-Market Fit – Are you the right person to build this? 2. Market Size – Is the opportunity huge? 3. Problem Acuity – Do people desperately need this? 4. Competition – Existing players? Good. Are they weak? Even better. 5. Personal Desire – Would you use this? 6. Timeliness – Why now? What changed? 7. Proxies – Are similar companies thriving nearby? 8. Long-Term Commitment – Will you still love this in 5 years? 9. Scalability – Can it grow fast, or is it limited by humans? 10. Idea Space – Is this category known to produce winners? 💡 And here's the twist: The best startup ideas don’t look like it at first. They’re hard to start (like Stripe). They’re in “boring” industries (like payroll). They already have competitors — but the competition sucks. 🎯 The best ideas often hide behind hard work, ugly wrappers, or old industries. 👉 Build what people truly need. 👉 Use this framework to test before you commit. 👉 Don’t wait for the “perfect idea.” It doesn’t exist.

🚀 Every big startup you see today began as a small, messy idea. The difference? Someone dared to build, test, and share it with the world. We often wait for the “perfect time” or “perfect version,” but in tech and startups, perfection is the fastes
