🚨 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.

🚀 Why Do 90% of Startups Fail? It’s not always lack of funding. It’s not always competition. Most of the time, it’s the myths founders believe. ❌ “All you need is a great idea.” ❌ “Raise VC money first.” ❌ “If you build it, they will come.” The t
