@ashs I have been in your place, and I know most people who are thinking about starting a startup, they think their ideas are innovative (I was just the same). You end up to a point where you realise that 8 billion is truly a lot of people, and we are mostly fed the same informational sources, we consume similar content, so we act in similar patterns.
There might be a chance that your idea is totally innovative, and maybe I am the stupid guy who talks nonsense, but for the most part of people who are going to read this, your idea isn’t really your idea.
At least someone somewhere has thought about it once (and maybe they haven’t taken action).
What happened to me and many others I know, especially at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, is that you start doing market research, and you find soo many people who’ve tried similar ideas (most ideas have been tried at one point in a way or another during the dot crash.( maybe I am exaggerating, but I think you get the point)
