Big Ideas

Start small working on something that interests you and grow it over time.
Do not make a direct frontal attack on big problems. Investors will keep asking “are we there yet?”.
Big ideas take longer and you have to project longer into the future. And the further out you project, the more likely it is that you’ll be wrong.
A popular model is that of the “visionary” where you find a specific point in the future and chart a path towards it. A better model is to be like Columbus - “there’s something to the west, I’ll sail westward”. Start with something small that works and when the opportunity comes to move, move westward. Emperically it’s better to have a blurry vision than a precise one.
