Interests: Below are some factors to consider when deciding what to pursue along with my personal criteria given as the short-term and longer-term goals. - Relationships: Having existing relationships with necessary customers, partners, hires and investors. - Access to customers: Customer development interviews within a reasonable period of time. - Skillset required to execute the business plays to the strength of the team, execution risk should be less. If it’s a consumer app that acquires a customer through search, a team of SEO experts could be pretty effective. - Ability to validate: Does it require product development to get validation, do I have to sit through 10-month sales cycles to know if it can be sold, those are risky paths to go down. That’s part of the reason I’ve been interested in companies solving known and validated problems or in existing and validated markets (second movers). - Need for financing: Business should generate cash flow. If a lot of money is required to start testing the concept, either because costs are high or because it will take a while to become cash flow positive, financing will be required either from founders or investors. - Size of market and opportunity: How much upside is being generated, If the goal is to build a massive company, will need to be in a massive market. - Quantity and quality of work: How enjoyable will the work be, how much time will it require, most opportunities will require significant time investments. - Other criteria are product safety, market gap, R&D within a short time period, dependence on other products, customer usage, pressure from the competition, revenue generation, trade barriers, protecting intellectual property, pricing your new product or service, export potential, expected product or service lifecycle, distribution plans, long term revenue flow, working capital requirements, having a right team.
