Asking the Right Questions About Building Startups

startup questions
Too many questions needs to be asked and answered before building startups. But my question is how many of those questions needs to be right before you can actually hit the road and build the product.If you have answers to some of these questions investors will likely take you serious and even begin negotiation with you about your idea.

    Which market are you serving and how big is that market

How Big is the Industry you want to serve

    Who is the biggest competitor that industry

Can you count 10 customers who will be willing to use your product

    Can you Bootstrap the idea or you will need a a venture capital fund

What is the trend in the industry you have chosen and how sustainable is the industry.

    Will you be happy to use your own product

How passionate is the team behind the idea

    Is the idea just a technology or you can build a business out of it.

What other questions did you answer before you started your company.

    Venture Capital is always risky but if market research had been done correctly, you will earn a lot:::

    Market research is very important. Investors want the numbers and facts to prove the viability of the idea they are putting their number into. Both the founder and investor share the risk and the benefits.

    venture capital investments are very very risky, don't invest if you do not have the nerve to do so,";
