If ideas are a dime a dozen, what even is a pre-idea startup
More they train such engineers more profitable for them to spread the word.
In 1st cohort, they're probably going to accept extrovert people with active social presence.
Alas, such grove is impossible.
I'm working on a prototype right now, guess I'll toss my hat in the ring.
Fortune favors the bold.
To me, it sounded like, "let's find all the idea guys who can't afford a tech founder. Then we'll see which ones have the best ideas, and move forward with those. As a bonus, we'll know exactly where we'd be able to acquihire a product manager for it!"
I think I had ideas when I started. Naïve ideas, but still ideas, but I think having no idea yet is fine.
I'm highly capable of building some great things, but at my dayjob I'm filled to brim with things to do and a non-ending list of tasks in front of me.
I've built cool stuff before, and if given a little push and some support could probably come up with something useful - and I can implement much of it myself.
Put me in the room with cool people, throw out some conversation starters, shake it up and I'll come up with something.
