Internet projects at the idea stage
The idea itself is worth nothing. The reason is simple: to spoil its implementation is very easy. If there is a brain, then it is not difficult to come up with an idea, if the brain is slightly smaller, then there are various methodologies that compensate for the difference. But the implementation experience cannot be replaced with methodologies; one can only cover up individual pieces, but the design is unstable.
Recently, many guys in IT have a “work package for their uncle”. From the size of the capitalization and success stories of Internet companies, about which they write everywhere, it starts to seethe with blood, and the romantic spirit of accomplishments calls on everyone to give up and make their own startup.
They start a startup, as a rule, from the fact that one fine day a grace descends on a person in the form of an idea of a new, ingenious, and all necessary service. He immediately becomes clear that the idea is worth a lot of money. The idea is outlined and started to be sent to the production centers, venture funds, incubators. At best, one more service is obtained. A person who goes to the investor with an idea and positions it as a sign of a great result does not fully believe in it. The goal, which is in most cases, is not to make a cool project, but to knock out loot for it, in order not to bend back to the employer. The status of employer beckons. This is actually the main problem, when the ultimate goal is to knock out the loot.

A smart person, before going after the money, does the following: he writes some kind of business plan, searches for people who would subscribe to the project, and makes a prototype or, at least, layouts. From my experience, I can say that you can implement a simple prototype of a service, even if it’s crooked and oblique, for your own minimum money, or no money at all. Yes, the practice of sharing services does not just work perfectly, in a crisis, it becomes even more relevant. Therefore, if there is a desire to make a successful project, make a prototype. During its creation, the idea is leveled with respect to market demands and acquires a more distinct form. Yes, and sell it all then much easier.
