What’s an Opportunity?
“The very best startup ideas tend to have three things in common: they're something the founders themselves want, that they themselves can build, and that few others realize are worth doing. Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook all began this way.”
Paul Graham
Y Combinator

Customer Development
Get out of the Building
Customer Development: finding your customers “in the wild” and understanding how they really use your product. Steve Blank
Customer development is the process of identifying, finding and talking to your customers to validate the assumptions you’ve made about your business.
“At an abstract level, Customer Development is simply about questioning your core business assumptions.” Brant Cooper and Patrick Vlaskovits
“Customer Development is a four-step framework to discover and validate that you have identified the market for your product, built the right product features that solve customers’ needs, tested the correct methods for acquiring and converting customers, and deployed the right resources to scale the business.”

The Changing Process
| 20th Century | 21st Century |
| Build in Secret | Go to customers early and often |
| Only focus group in Secret | Share, share, share |
| Only have 1 chance to make a first impression of customers | Name it BETA and let customers shape it |
| Engineering Driven | Customer Driven |

But won’t they steal my idea…
Secret vs Share
Ideas are a dime a dozen; it’s the execution that will set you apart from the rest.
Myth #1: “I Should Save My Startup Idea Until It’s Refined”
You should share your idea with everyone you meet.
By sharing your idea with as many people as possible, you can get feedback early on to prevent wasting time on an idea that won’t sell.
Myth #2: “My Startup Idea Is Too Unique To Be Shared”
Then you either don’t know how to google or your idea is so wacky no one else has
Myth #3: “People will steal My Startup Idea If I Tell Them What It Is”
But they can’t steal your passion, insight and execution
The reality is for those talented enough to build your idea, they are busy enough focusing on things they already care about and want to work on.
your potential competitors are more likely to become partners.
You should embrace real feedback, embrace learning early, embrace building a list of real users and customers for day one. When you do, you’re going to be much more successful, and you’re going to hit the ground running that much faster.
