Buils ie. for big markets: - teens - 3D printing glasses (trendy, unique) - parents - Q&A for childcare - woman - new ways of slimming

There is no one proccess for finding ideas. There are clues for finding them.

If you don't see such idea for masses then you don't undestand particular market :/ If you are a parent you often search for some child-care problems solutions. If you see problems with advices structure there, and friends find it also, then build it.

Just check also Google Keyword Tool, thera are informations - what people are looking for / what lacks.

it's better to know something earlier, then nothing and start build :/

As author of this presentation, I see in europe that ie. tech-people who build startups don't see obvious problems as there is still a lot of space for competition. They start from tech-interesting solutions. This presentation is not about far future, but build for actual needs.

It is not formula for all startups but when I see ideas on Startup Weekend it seems to me that I live in parallel world, when I read their ideas for solutions. They often goes from solution, let's try from problem/need.

Rhakns. Some people doesn't even understand Lean Canvas, so C-P-S formula is lower threshold for entry into modeling startups :) simpliest model as possible, It was my purpose in this presentation.

The battle for the so-called Viral Coefficient has become the habit of many startup companies. It’s no holds barred as long as the users share their accomplishments and content. It doesn’t actually matter if the user wants to share. Is there a point in that?

I invite you to discussion :)

Like in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams :) Dolphins will govern...

The biggest competition for entrepreneur is himself. Self-awareness is the most important in my opinion. Example is Noah Kagan :)
