The Idea Maze is the maze constructed out of all the possible paths you could take to turn your startup idea into reality. A good founder can anticipate which paths will lead to success and which will lead to failure by understanding the industry's history, the players involved, the successes and failures of the past, and the technologies that are likely to shape the industry in the future. A bad founder, on the other hand, may rush into a particular area without fully understanding the challenges and opportunities, leading to a higher likelihood of failure.
When breakthrough technologies appear, a new Idea Maze is open. Think about how a world of possibilities was opened when we got electricity or the internet. AI is one of those breakthroughs. Entrepreneurs will use AI to disrupt current industries and build entirely new ones.
AI is revolutionizing how we work and live. New applications drop almost daily in many industries like Photography, Law, and even Art. The pace of recent developments in the AI field has been accelerating, leading to many possible new products and technologies. It's an exciting time full of hype and hope. However, it's not going to be an easy road. You must first navigate the Idea Maze to profit from the AI opportunity. You will need to fight the Hype Monster and navigate safely to treasure.
I'm navigating the AI Idea Maze as an Angel Investor and builder.
This publication is a chronicle of my journey through the AI Maze, and I hope It will become a helping guide to others trying to find their own paths.
