every time I'm in college here I get
18:15
every time I'm in college here I get hungry there's no food at the campus I
18:17
hungry there's no food at the campus I
18:17
hungry there's no food at the campus I wish there was an app so you want to
18:19
wish there was an app so you want to
18:19
wish there was an app so you want to create this app the first thing you have
18:21
create this app the first thing you have
18:21
create this app the first thing you have to see is are there already apps out
18:24
to see is are there already apps out
18:24
to see is are there already apps out there doing the same
18:26
there doing the same
18:26
there doing the same thing if they are are they really good
18:29
thing if they are are they really good
18:29
thing if they are are they really good you have to use them um if they are not
18:32
you have to use them um if they are not
18:32
you have to use them um if they are not why they're not good because you still
18:34
why they're not good because you still
18:34
why they're not good because you still want to build it so that's kind of first
18:35
want to build it so that's kind of first
18:35
want to build it so that's kind of first thing you have to start with it and you
18:37
thing you have to start with it and you
18:38
thing you have to start with it and you will find out that today's world most of
18:40
will find out that today's world most of
18:40
will find out that today's world most of the thing you are thinking to build it's
18:42
the thing you are thinking to build it's
18:43
the thing you are thinking to build it's probably already built somebody probably
18:45
probably already built somebody probably
18:45
probably already built somebody probably already built that so that's where very
18:47
already built that so that's where very
18:47
already built that so that's where very important is that you don't want to just
18:49
important is that you don't want to just
18:49
important is that you don't want to just go and create your start up right away
18:52
go and create your start up right away
18:52
go and create your start up right away with the product without doing all the
18:57
research then you need to think of a
19:00
research then you need to think of a
19:00
research then you need to think of a solution let's say you found this idea
19:03
solution let's say you found this idea
19:03
solution let's say you found this idea and there not too many solutions there
19:05
and there not too many solutions there
19:05
and there not too many solutions there there are solutions but they're bad
19:06
there are solutions but they're bad
19:06
there are solutions but they're bad Solutions now you have to think that why
19:10
Solutions now you have to think that why
19:10
Solutions now you have to think that why your solution is better
19:13
your solution is better
19:13
your solution is better than Solutions they're already out
19:16
than Solutions they're already out
19:16
than Solutions they're already out there so you know sometimes it's okay to
19:21
there so you know sometimes it's okay to
19:21
there so you know sometimes it's okay to start and same idea build the same idea
19:24
start and same idea build the same idea
19:24
start and same idea build the same idea but because your solution is much better
19:26
but because your solution is much better
19:26
but because your solution is much better it's not a bad IDE it's not a bad idea
19:28
it's not a bad IDE it's not a bad idea
19:28
it's not a bad IDE it's not a bad idea because you're solving problem in a
19:30
because you're solving problem in a
19:30
because you're solving problem in a better way for example look at cars
19:33
better way for example look at cars
19:33
better way for example look at cars right when Elon Musk thought of Tesla
19:36
right when Elon Musk thought of Tesla
19:36
right when Elon Musk thought of Tesla and created this electric car there were
19:39
and created this electric car there were
19:39
and created this electric car there were already cars there was no shortage of
19:42
already cars there was no shortage of
19:42
already cars there was no shortage of cars at that time but he said what if I
19:45
cars at that time but he said what if I
19:45
cars at that time but he said what if I create a new car instead of gas or
19:48
create a new car instead of gas or
19:48
create a new car instead of gas or petrol it will work it will run on
19:52
petrol it will work it will run on
19:52
petrol it will work it will run on electric
19:53
electric
19:53
electric so what I'm saying here is that just
19:57
so what I'm saying here is that just
19:57
so what I'm saying here is that just because there somebody has built the
19:59
because there somebody has built the
19:59
because there somebody has built the same idea you may have a bit better and
20:02
same idea you may have a bit better and
20:02
same idea you may have a bit better and better solution for the same idea which
20:04
better solution for the same idea which
20:04
better solution for the same idea which is maybe faster cheaper better whatever
20:07
is maybe faster cheaper better whatever
20:07
is maybe faster cheaper better whatever it is so it can be a duplicate idea as
20:10
it is so it can be a duplicate idea as
20:10
it is so it can be a duplicate idea as well right and there's lot of examples
20:13
well right and there's lot of examples
20:13
well right and there's lot of examples again and again and again because you
20:15
again and again and again because you
20:15
again and again and again because you know there is something already there
20:17
know there is something already there
20:17
know there is something already there bicycle already there I remember when I
20:20
bicycle already there I remember when I
20:20
bicycle already there I remember when I was young there was a Hero bicycle right
20:23
was young there was a Hero bicycle right
20:23
was young there was a Hero bicycle right now and there's so many other bicycles
20:25
now and there's so many other bicycles
20:25
now and there's so many other bicycles with new models and so on so forth so
20:31
now you have this idea you say you know
20:34
now you have this idea you say you know
20:34
now you have this idea you say you know what looks like my idea is great you
20:37
what looks like my idea is great you
20:37
what looks like my idea is great you have done the market analysis looks like
20:39
have done the market analysis looks like
20:39
have done the market analysis looks like there's not too
20:40
there's not too
20:40
there's not too many apps are out
20:43
many apps are out
20:43
many apps are out there how do I how do you verify that
20:46
there how do I how do you verify that
20:46
there how do I how do you verify that that this idea is a good idea because
20:49
that this idea is a good idea because
20:49
that this idea is a good idea because you know you want to build it you think
20:51
you know you want to build it you think
20:51
you know you want to build it you think it's a good idea so first thing you do
20:54
it's a good idea so first thing you do
20:54

28:50
um so I think now you have an idea you
28:50
um so I think now you have an idea you have this focus group and now what you
28:52
have this focus group and now what you
28:52
have this focus group and now what you do is you're building an MVP MVP means
28:54
do is you're building an MVP MVP means
28:55
do is you're building an MVP MVP means most minimum viable product don't think
28:58
most minimum viable product don't think
28:58
most minimum viable product don't think of as a most valuable professional
29:00
of as a most valuable professional
29:00
of as a most valuable professional because on C Corner we have something
29:02
because on C Corner we have something
29:02
because on C Corner we have something called MVP as well so but in startup
29:06
called MVP as well so but in startup
29:06
called MVP as well so but in startup world now you start building your
29:08
world now you start building your
29:08
world now you start building your minimum viable product and what does
29:12
minimum viable product and what does
29:12
minimum viable product and what does that mean that means you have to build a
29:14
that mean that means you have to build a
29:14
that mean that means you have to build a smaller subset of your
29:17
smaller subset of your
29:17
smaller subset of your functionality that you can give it to
29:19
functionality that you can give it to
29:19
functionality that you can give it to somebody you can give it to the users
29:21
somebody you can give it to the users
29:21
somebody you can give it to the users and they can start using it that's the
29:23
and they can start using it that's the
29:23
and they can start using it that's the MVP it's not a full function product it
29:26
MVP it's not a full function product it
29:26
MVP it's not a full function product it may do only few things
29:31
um then once you have built the MVP you
29:34
um then once you have built the MVP you
29:34
um then once you have built the MVP you got to test drive it test drive means
29:36
got to test drive it test drive means
29:36
got to test drive it test drive means give it to more people get their
29:38
give it to more people get their
29:38
give it to more people get their feedback improve from that don't try to
29:41
feedback improve from that don't try to
29:41
feedback improve from that don't try to build a lot in the beginning try to
29:43
build a lot in the beginning try to
29:43
build a lot in the beginning try to build just just few things minimum
29:46
build just just few things minimum

minimum so first of
30:13
minimum so first of all they won't feel overwhelmed by the
30:17
all they won't feel overwhelmed by the
30:17
all they won't feel overwhelmed by the functionality and second of all it's
30:20
functionality and second of all it's

customers love it then you start building more start putting more effort
30:45
building more start putting more effort
30:45
building more start putting more effort more money more resources in it so
30:48
more money more resources in it so

they are in everywhere so um oh during this whole process
32:12
so um oh during this whole process
32:12
so um oh during this whole process you'll have to build a team because it's
32:15
you'll have to build a team because it's
32:15
you'll have to build a team because it's really hard to uh build a startup by
32:18
really hard to uh build a startup by
32:18
really hard to uh build a startup by yourself and and that's why it's very
32:20
yourself and and that's why it's very
32:21
yourself and and that's why it's very important to have a team
32:24
important to have a team
32:24
important to have a team okay um the recommendation is you want
32:28
okay um the recommendation is you want
32:28
okay um the recommendation is you want to have co-founders to at least so most
32:30
to have co-founders to at least so most
32:30
to have co-founders to at least so most successful startups have three
32:32
successful startups have three
32:32
successful startups have three co-founders and some are two but most of
32:35
co-founders and some are two but most of
32:35
co-founders and some are two but most of them have three one is usually The
32:37
them have three one is usually The
32:37
them have three one is usually The Silent One you probably never heard of
32:38
Silent One you probably never heard of
32:38
Silent One you probably never heard of them and the reason you want to have
32:40
them and the reason you want to have
32:40
them and the reason you want to have three co-founders is very important
32:43
three co-founders is very important
32:43
three co-founders is very important because sometimes if you are two people

break the diee so now you have two to one votes if you need to decide on
32:55
one votes if you need to decide on
32:55
one votes if you need to decide on something so that's first thing you need
32:58
something so that's first thing you need
32:58
something so that's first thing you need in a in a team the second thing you're
33:00
in a in a team the second thing you're
33:00
in a in a team the second thing you're going to need is advisors advisers are
33:03
going to need is advisors advisers are
33:03
going to need is advisors advisers are very important for a startup and the
33:05
very important for a startup and the
33:05
very important for a startup and the reason is when you start building your
33:08
reason is when you start building your
33:08
reason is when you start building your new startup which is pretty much like a
33:10
new startup which is pretty much like a
33:10
new startup which is pretty much like a new company there's so many unknowns you
33:13
new company there's so many unknowns you
33:13
new company there's so many unknowns you don't have experience and these advisors
33:15
don't have experience and these advisors
33:16
don't have experience and these advisors they have a lot of experience and they
33:18
they have a lot of experience and they
33:18
they have a lot of experience and they already bring that experience to table
33:20
already bring that experience to table
33:20
already bring that experience to table and will guide you what is what to do
33:23
and will guide you what is what to do
33:23
and will guide you what is what to do what not to do and in Long Run what
33:26
what not to do and in Long Run what
33:26
what not to do and in Long Run what happens is you move fast
33:28
happens is you move fast
33:28
happens is you move fast and time is very important when you have
33:30
and time is very important when you have
33:30
and time is very important when you have a startup you don't have everything you
33:33
a startup you don't have everything you
33:33
a startup you don't have everything you can get but time you cannot get so you
33:35
can get but time you cannot get so you
33:35
can get but time you cannot get so you don't have the luxury of time you have
33:37
don't have the luxury of time you have
33:37
don't have the luxury of time you have to move faster you have to deliver
33:39
to move faster you have to deliver
33:39
to move faster you have to deliver things faster you have to fix things
33:41
things faster you have to fix things
33:41
things faster you have to fix things faster so having experienced people as
33:43
faster so having experienced people as
33:43
faster so having experienced people as advisors always
33:45
advisors always
33:45
advisors always help and then you need to think about
33:47
help and then you need to think about
33:47
help and then you need to think about your core team who's the okay if you are
33:50
your core team who's the okay if you are

33:58
they complement your skill set you know there's nothing wrong with two
34:01
you know there's nothing wrong with two
34:01
