On “Ask HN: My startup has basically failed. What now?”

You and your team should watch this 3 times right now: link to this video It’s about finding product market fit after a few different products. It talks about how their new successful product (150 staff) is a small feature from one of their other products and how they scaled that! Do it!

Having followed this exact playbook to validate several products I can confidently say this will give you false positives and the only reliable way to determine when you have PMF is: accidentally get PMF on something so that you know what it feels like (it’s unmistakeable).

On “How to Get Startup Ideas”

The first approach sounds solid but it's the kind of thinking that very easily leads you towards building a solution looking for a problem. See Peter Reinhardts talk about product/market fit: link to this video
