- Easy to explain/understand.
- Market that will undergo exponential growth.
- Riding a wave of a real trend - like a new platform that people use obsessively, many hours every day (think iOS, not VR).
- Meaningful mission that makes people excited to help/join/contribute.
- Enthusiastic founder with an ambitious vision. Confident and definite view of the future.

One way to know that you have product market fit is that you’ll get growth by word of mouth.

Focus on taking over a small market that will be big in 10 years. Build a product that a small number of people in a rapidly growing niche will really love.

It’s much easier to expand from something that a small number of people love to something that a lot of people love, than to grow something that a large number of people kinda like.

Create something so cool that it will spread through word of mouth.

Success comes from persistently improving and inventing, not from persistently doing whats not working.

When your project is not a hit, don't keep pushing it as is, get back to improving, present each new idea and improvement to the world, until people are shouting "shut up and take my money!"

Dont waste years fighting uphill battles against closed doors. Improve/invent until you get that huge response.
