Create a Successful Startup with These 10 Tips

According to Openview Labs  : "Suc­cess comes in many forms
—but when your startup is gun­ning for extra­or­di­nary exe­cu­tion,
there’s no wrong place to look for advice".

. Test Your Ideas Con­stantly

and Remem­ber You Might Be Wrong

Con­nect with the peo­ple who will really buy your product/service
and val­i­date your ideas off of them. Just remem­ber your ideas,
though bril­liant, might be wrong, so pay close atten­tion to
lack­lus­ter responses—they may just save you loads of time and money.

4. Hire The Right People

Hire peo­ple who com­ple­ment—not dupli­cate—your skills.
Con­cen­trate on your com­pany cul­ture and how a new hire will fit in. Also:

“Don’t be afraid to hire peo­ple who know more

than you, as long there is a good cul­tural fit.

Out­source to buy exper­tise you can’t afford in-house,

and to per­form non-strategic busi­ness functions.”

5. Stay Focused On Value, Not Fluff

Busi­ness strate­gies are impor­tant, of course, but they aren’t
nec­es­sary for every facet of the busi­ness up front.
Value is what’s most impor­tant for cus­tomer devel­op­ment and acqui­si­tion.

8. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Different

David notes that investors are con­ser­v­a­tive by nature and will
prob­a­bly want you to fol­low the path of com­pa­ra­ble com­pa­nies.
Don’t let that deter you. If you have a good rea­son for going
against the grain, and can artic­u­late your rea­son­ing, noth­ing should stop you.by TAATJENE
