保罗·格雷厄姆:如何获得创业点子·第2则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《如何获得创业点子》》· How to Get Startup Ideas · 领导 · 认知
There were only a couple thousand Altair owners, but without this software they were programming in machine language. Thirty years later Facebook had the same shape. Their first site was exclusively for Harvard students, of which there are only a few thousand, but those few thousand users wanted it a lot. When you have an idea for a startup, ask yourself: who wants this right now? Who wants this so much that they'll use it even when it's a crappy version one made by a two-person startup they've never heard of? If you can't answer that, the idea is probably bad.

白话
早期用户少不要紧,关键是他们有多想要。Altair 电脑只有几千个用户,但没有配套软件他们就得用机器码编程,所以这批人极度渴望。脸书最初只对哈佛学生开放,也就几千人,但这几千人非常想要。所以有了点子先问自己:现在谁立刻就要这个?谁想要到即使产品很烂、做它的还是两个没听过名字的人,也愿意用?答不上来,点子多半不行。因为创业初期只能靠一小群铁杆用户撑住,他们的迫切程度决定了你能否活到改进产品。
上下文
同上文,格雷厄姆用 Altair 和脸书的早期例子说明小市场里强烈需求的价值。
今日一问
你手上的点子,能说出具体哪一群人现在非用不可吗?
