The Startup Ideas Podcast · Silicon Valley founder shares 3 of her best 150+ ideas · 24 Jul 2024 podcast

You don't have to know what the exact path is, but just having like, people call this like an idea maze, but just having like, here's what needs to happen to make this so worthwhile to spend a ton of time on is really helpful. And the last thing is that

The type of business you start dictates how you will spend your time and who you will talk to and what you will wear and what your life will be like. So we started a business targeting developers. I get to spend all day, every day talking to developers. It is awesome. I love it.

But if we had started something where I have to wear a suit all the time or I have to travel a ton or like there are just a lot of different types of businesses to start. And you should choose one that fits your personality because it should be energizing in your day rather than very detracting.

Okay. You're right. It's true. But something that I underappreciated on the first day of Jam is I used to be a product manager and I sort of thought all about product. And I was like, the hard part of building this is building the product. But building the product is like, now you can just even get started.

And the rest of the journey is you're creating a movement that helps people improve their lives in a particular way. And just social change takes time and behavior change takes time. and the environment changes around you. And so you're just, you're like, if it's not something where people are going to search for this tool and it's going to be the top search result and SEO always.

And that like, if the distribution doesn't come naturally, you're, you're embarking on a very long journey and a lot longer than I sort of appreciated.

Yeah, I think that's right.

I'm dying to know.

Not that I know of, but it's, maybe.

Wow. That's an amazing story. And like, what a like warm and like beautiful thing to do.

Well, first, I'll give you for the first time the full 141 idea notion to share. And if people are starting companies, our first pitch deck, if they're raising VC is still online, it's at deck.jam.dev. So that's if anyone out there is starting something, if that's helpful to you. But I'm Danny at jam.dev.

If you are using the product and you have feature requests or suggestions or just thoughts, reach out. I love chatting with our users.

Yeah, when we started the company, I used to be a VC. And I just thought it's so unfair that I've gotten to see other founders pitch. And when you're starting a company, the quality of your pitch deck matters. And so how can we just like, here's what ours is so other people who've never seen one can create their own.

Thanks so much for having me, Greg.
