I really like the way you talk about ideas as either a "painkiller" or a "vitamin." If you didn't need the product yesterday, then maybe it's just a vitamin. I was in a foundry cohort of entrepreneurs at my university, and I was amazed at how many people just didn't want to talk to customers. They spent a lot of time stuck in the same problem because they were afraid of sharing what they made. This is so real, and I like having new language for these sorts of concepts.
As a startup founder im enjoying every post Burak. Thanks for the effort

thanks Ben
The questions are indeed simple, yet I encounter so many (first-time) founders that struggle with asking them. Great writeup!
thank you Jeroen
This is very vital for everyone planning to start a business or a social enterprise. A litmus test to challenge founders to do more work.
