Internet startup - how to implement

Question

Startups

Friends, let's say I have a true mega idea for a startup. She's cool, everything looks great in her head.

Question: How to act to realize it?
You can do it alone - on your own, you can look for like-minded people, you can ask for money from investors (try) and so on.

I would like to hear your opinion on how to implement the process.
PS: I am a simple student - there are no resources.

Answer 1

How do I. Got an idea -> Wrote it down -> Showed it to smart people (sent) -> Handed over the design of the idea, showed it to smart people (they said it wouldn’t work) -> Reworked the concept of the idea, added “How to make money on it” -> Showed it to smart people people (they said it won’t work) -> I called my older brother and explained the idea, they approached smart people with him (two people, this is already a “team”) -> got the money.

Answer 2

Not sure if I'm a good adviser but my recommendations.
1. gather a couple of people who really like your idea
2. write something like mini-mini blanks
3. make a presentation and a mini report on your idea.
4. participate in star-up competitions and look for what you need for the project (funding, or connections, or advice)

Answer 3

I read q&a here and understood - you need to draw up a development plan (like what, where, why and why), then try to implement something yourself (alpha 0.000000000001) and then want something. :)

Answer 4

Who do you see yourself in this idea? If a leader, then ordinary interesting books, even if they look like “business for dummies”, will already be useful. Startup-shmartup is all buzzwords, anyway, after all, this is a special case of your business. And even more so for an investor. It makes no difference to him to invest in a revolutionary Internet technology that may turn the world upside down, or in a network of chebureks. Only the amount of costs, the amount of profits and the level of risks are important.
I would advise reading books by Yuri Moroz. Uncle is very ambiguous, but not a fool. On the one hand, his books hit the brain well, make you take a different look at your idea, destroy illusions (which is very good - it later allows you to build a firmer and more correct vision of the whole situation), and on the other hand, they motivate you to start a business very well.
For example, he just described a similar case - after all, it is frequent, almost everyone “has a mega-idea, crazy profits, but there is no money to unwind.” He advises - if so - easily - sell an apartment (your own, the apartment of your parents and close relatives), if it's not enough - take another loan from bandits secured by a kidney, now you already have money. Then you make a project, it fights back (you are sure that it will fight back? :-) ), pay off your debts and drink away the profits in the Bahamas. Why not take this simple route? And so, at this stage, a person usually already understands that the idea is actually not “super-duper”, but simply “interesting”, and quite risky, and the investor may not want to risk his tens of millions, just as you don’t really want to to lose everything that is, if suddenly the super-idea does not burn out. :-)
Read. It doesn't take long, but it's very easy and fun to read. And periodically evaluate your business idea not as a “startup” (especially since this word is already almost abusive - the peak of fashion, when everyone was ready to pour any money into any startup, has long passed), but as just an idea, the same like a vegetable stall, a network of gas stations or a pastry shop.

Answer 5

We write the concept of the project first.
What does it mean? We sit down and write a description of the project with goals, objectives, market analysis, write the TOR, prepare the concept art of the pages. All this is in Russian with spelling(!).
If it turned out as a result of pages 30, then we are looking for people in the team and investors.
If you get several pages, then forget this idea, you will not succeed.

Answer 6

I'm telling you from my experience. What is described above, everything makes sense. I can only give a couple of recommendations:
1) Your idea is not unique. It is not the idea itself that is important, but its implementation. Perhaps someone even implements it before you, but they do not have enough money to promote it.
2) Cut your idea into small pieces, and implement just one useful feature. A good example is Google. When they opened, they had only one function - search. And if they immediately started designing gmail, docs, they would still be designing. This is very significant and important.
3) Choose your partners carefully. You can’t put a person who wants to wind up a bunch of services at once at the head of the design. Get bogged down in long-term construction, and when you finish, there will be no money for promotion. Take on a team a person who is a specialist in writing smart pieces of paper and knows how to write competent articles on market development. This person will also go to meetings with investors.
If you are not a programmer, then you need such a person. It needs to be infected with ideas and inscribed in a partnership. Programmers are different. Here you can write a lot about them. I will limit myself to a recommendation so that the person understands you immediately and says that he is ready to do this without unnecessary bureaucracy. There are programmers who, although partners, do not care, they do not believe in success. Anything happens.
In general, it’s worth trying a startup, if only for the experience you get. While you are a startup, you will have to learn many professions. You will need all this.

Answer 7

On your own - you may simply not have time, you may get tired of dragging the project alone, and so on and so forth.
Investors have money - are you sure that the idea will not only be cool in your head and the project will pay off? :)
In my opinion, if you haven't started startups, it's better to find like-minded people. But, again, these like-minded people may get bored with something, they will not have time, and so on.
It turns out, to drag myself with some like-minded people (for me, for example, this is how it turns out on the sly).

Answer 8

Make a prototype that works, and then according to the situation, depending on whether it immediately generates income or look for an investor, or hire people for income. A lot depends on the situation.

Answer 9

In my opinion, you first need to conduct pre-marketing and once again study whether your idea will be so successful, whether there are competitors, what problem your project will solve. At the same time, the business plan itself may not be so important, now the struggle is for the user, not the dollar (as we have seen from the experience of Instagram and Twitter, which do not earn anything at all, but cost billions). After that, you need to look for like-minded people and do everything with them. Without a working prototype and a team, it is very unlikely that any of the investors will be interested in the project. As practice shows, very few projects have developed without large investments, so this is most likely unavoidable. If you are already looking for like-minded people and you need a marketer/analyst, I will be glad to continue communication.

Answer 10

Struggling with an idea is stupid, with time and experience you will understand. You can write on specialized resources (such as cofounder.ru), look for like-minded people.

Answer 11

The simplest advice: "Do not think, but do."
The first step is to create a prototype, since what we imagine in our heads is always implemented differently in reality. When you have a prototype ready, you can really test the market and find out if your idea is really in demand in the market. If it is in demand, then you can already draw up a plan for further actions, and if not, then you can switch to the next idea. After probing a dozen ideas, you will find your gold mine, which will captivate you and the people around you.

Answer 12

The main resource is your own brains. Everything starts with an idea. However, the project must be unique, and not repeat existing Internet startups. If your idea can claim to be innovative, then feel free to start developing your product. In addition, a business plan must be developed. As for development, it is quite possible to attract investors through accelerator programs like TechStars. For example, recently, the guys from the Ukrainian Preplay project received $120,000 from the incubator delo.ua/tech/ukrainskij-startap-preply-privlek-120...
