Hello. My message will be very simple and short. I formed it for myself a long time ago, for me it was obvious, but for many it was not. Today I saw another confirmation of his loyalty, here it is:
The trend of our time is to save time. I always try to bring this information to startups and all people who are somehow connected with them. Attention must be paid to this and this problem must be solved. If we look at any successful service (well, almost any) and try to unearth the reasons for success, we will find time savings. Save time on buying books, on sharing information, on backing up, on ordering tickets, on communication, on anything. Most of the startups that I saw at Startup Weekend simply did not pay attention to this. They solved real (well, or sucked from the finger) problems, but did not take into account one thing - now every potential user is so loaded that he may simply not have enough time to use your wonderful invention. You have to solve some problem, but with question number two you should have this one. If there is no alternative, but the service is still needed - will be used. But the one who will be able to give less time, even with a smaller amount of opportunities, will benefit. This is my position. End user position. I know my post is too short, you can still roll three pages of text, but the idea will remain. Check your startup. I ask it as a potential buyer. And save my time a little. You are welcome.
