保罗·格雷厄姆:创业之前·第3则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《创业之前》》· Before the Startup · 行动 · 投资 · 成长 · 领导
But that doesn't work with startups. There is no boss to trick, only users, and all users care about is whether your product does what they want. Startups are as impersonal as physics. You have to make something people want, and you prosper only to the extent you do. The dangerous thing is, faking does work to some degree on investors. If you're super good at sounding like you know what you're talking about, you can fool investors for at least one and perhaps even two rounds of funding. But it's not in your interest to. The company is ultimately doomed. All you're doing is wasting your own time riding it down. So stop looking for the trick. There are tricks in startups, as there are in any domain, but they are an order of magnitude less important than solving the real problem.

白话
创业不像其他领域可以靠小聪明蒙混过关,因为用户只关心产品是否满足需求,就像物理定律一样客观。你只能通过做出人们想要的东西来成功。欺骗投资者可能得逞一时,但公司最终会失败,浪费的是你自己的时间。所以不要寻找捷径,创业中的技巧远不如解决真正的问题重要。把心思放在解决实际问题上,而不是琢磨如何忽悠投资人。
上下文
格雷厄姆在《创业之前》中提醒创业者,创业成功没有捷径,必须直面用户需求。
今日一问
你正在解决的问题是用户真正关心的,还是你为了融资而编造的故事?
