How to check the viability of a startup idea

One of the most brilliant concepts and potential companies I've worked for failed miserably because 400 years of combined Wharton and Columbia MBA experience failed to ask the customer what they wanted.

We failed on the cusp of brilliance because we automated our customers out of their jobs.
