Interesting thought from the week

I looked at 38 businesses this week for potential acquisition targets.

Many have a business that is dramatically different than the business they set out to start.

The reminders:

• Business plans are largely a waste of time unless you're raising capital. Just start the business.
• Focus your time out the gate on confirming your users/clients will actually pay for your product or service. Stop grinding away on something if you don't even know if people will pay for it.
• Pivot and adjust quickly to the market signals and needs.

When we started WeHero, it was a browser extension. Then it became one of the largest providers of volunteer experiences globally. Very different business!

Interesting find/tool of the week

I haven't been on Indie Hackers in awhile, but they now have an area where founders can add their businesses with their revenue and share updates.

​Gold mine for ideas and inspiration!
