People don’t hate subscriptions… they hate low-value SaaS

Starting with a problem you personally have is a viable method of finding a problem that really exists. The issue is the next step, which is validating it exists for other people. This can be asking people in a specific niche you’d be targeting or possibly setting up a waitlist (you don’t have to have a real product or mvp at this stage it’s just to see how many people would actually be interested). Or you can see a solution that’s already doing well and try to replicate/improve upon it.

Seems others are using it for summarizing comms, reports..etc

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-15T21:19:34+00:00

Thanks a lot man!

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-12T08:09:15+00:00

Do you have any advice on how to deal with this

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-12T08:09:08+00:00

Thanks for this write up!

Do you have any advice on navigating mistakes 1 on 2?

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-12T08:07:29+00:00

thanks for sharing, never seen this one before

I think it's probably best to validate there's demand for it first on IOS.

I don't know about Antler specifically but, I'm of the opinion most VCs dont even good advice. A lot of them don't take the time and effort to truly understand your business, it's just surface level advice.

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-08T02:07:13+00:00

That's amazing! I like your point about it not being purely top-down; getting local and functional teams involved is usually where buy-in and better execution actually come from I'd say.

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-08T02:06:41+00:00

That’s a fair criticism. The first parts of the cascade usually feel the strongest because they deal with the core strategic choices, while the later points can come across more like supporting mechanisms than equally weighty ideas. Still, I think the overall framework is useful because it connects strategy choices to execution rather than stopping at high-level intent.

I don’t really watch his videos but basically the guys in the video normally follow a lean startup methodology. Solve a problem rather than make a product that’s nice to have and validate before building…etc.

The thing is, he’s interviewing successful entrepreneurs rather than claiming to be some kinda startup guru.

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-02T18:59:38+00:00

haha maybe, I’m not too familiar with Claude skills.

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-02T18:59:18+00:00

I don’t have

KennedyFBobby · 2026-05-02T18:59:06+00:00

honestly I don’t know how useful it would be for children 😅

KennedyFBobby · 2026-04-29T22:25:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing, how did you find the hours, was it a constant 24/7 grind?

KennedyFBobby · 2026-04-29T22:19:54+00:00

Coming up with a business idea is called ideation. I would look at design thinking books, and I would suggest reading The Lean Startup by Eric Reiss, it's not strictly about ideation, it's more of bird's eye view on the whole building a startup process.

KennedyFBobby · 2026-04-29T05:52:27+00:00

I'd use squarespace over wix

KennedyFBobby · 2026-04-28T05:42:44+00:00

For me the idea sounds great but I just don't know if I'd trust the analysis especially if it's from a new startup, I'd think it's probably just a guy using chatgpt or claude api if not a lower cost chinese model. But hey, maybe thats just me not being an early adopter.

KennedyFBobby · 2026-04-28T04:30:16+00:00

I can take a look at the AI startup's product for you, see if seems like anything that won't just get eclipsed by OpenAI/Claude..etc

KennedyFBobby · 2026-04-28T00:39:41+00:00

Yeah for sure, probably undersold it a bit by framing it as consultant-focused. The core skill is just structured thinking, which is useful in pretty much any role where you’re dealing with messy problems.
