I went to a hackathon recently…

If you’ve not come across that, It’s a weekend of where technies and entrepreneurs come together

It was well organized but I didn’t really enjoy it,

because I think these things are designed the wrong way around.

It basically says… build something this weekend than sell it later.

But good, lean businesses are the opposite.

They find a customer…

find a problem and a pain…

then build a solution around that.

They sell the idea well before it’s been built.

You can get paid before something’s been made.

Get out the building…

and you can create a business that works.
