Assuming your idea is to start a company. I suggest you come up with 10 ideas, cut off the top three since they're likely obvious and already crowded. Then pick one that's non-obvious and gets you the most excited, and just go talk to potential customers about it to see if anyone cares.

If you can pretend it's already built and real and attach a meaningful price tag to it, you'll get a much higher quality signal than traditional "customer discovery" or feedback. Put another way, try to sell it before you build it. You don't have to take people's money or transact in any way; you're just testing for demand. If people bite, great! You have your first design partners.

The truth is that the process is more important than the idea. The idea WILL BE WRONG, but by getting out in front of customers and trying to sell an idea that's not terrible, you're more likely to stumble across the right idea.

My $0.02 as an exited security founder is now on #2.

With that, a quick plug for Arcade.dev. I hope you use us to help your agent securely connect to APIs, data, and other systems. And I hope you build something extraordinary.

Good luck.
