Are You Sure Your Startup Idea Actually Fits the Market?
summary
Nails claims to numbers: 90% of startups fail and 42% fail for “no market need” (CB Insights postmortems). Method is concrete: flip the usual order and start with why then who then what, use deep interviews and even life‑coaching prompts, run focused pilots (a period product did clinical tests on ~200 women and used 3D printing), build community (20,000 followers, 1,500 in a Facebook group), and pivot only when the why/who reveal a sellable need—some pivots win funding, others still close.
