In reality, I feel like there’s two main ways successful startups start:

1) you talk to someone who tells you they have a problem, you fix it for them, then scale from there

2) you ship something you find useful or fun and other people find it too, then scale from there

The “ship an mvp” & “keep looking for problems” methods don’t seem to yield much, simply because mvps tend to be half-baked implementations & looking around for just any problem misses the point & leads to cognitive biases where you start seeing problems everywhere, even where there’s none
