The start-up roadmap.

Hey, guys, you want to found a start-up? Follow the roadmap prepared by Funders & Founders. Put the dates next to the expected steps and then proceed, remembering the motto (by Denzel Washington, I do fully approve it): “Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.” Simple, isn’t it? Or not? Good luck …

How to start a start-up (Funders and Founders)

1. Live in the FUTURE, ahead of your time
2. What is MISSING in the world?
3. Write it down and bounce IDEAS around
4. Make a PROTOTYPE
5. SHOW the prototype to 100 people
6. ITERATE on the prototype until it makes sense
7. Find a CO-FOUNDER
8. Register your C-corp, split EQUITY
9. Look for FUNDING and build version one a the same time
10. LAUNCH. Let everyone know you have made something
11. FOLLOW UP with users. Are they coming back?

a) yes, they are coming back; b) no, they came and left

if b) then 10.1 launch AGAIN (after iterating). Launch until users stay (AirBnB launched three times). Then, step 12.

if a) then

12. Get to 1,000 users
13. Grow 5% a WEEK (hard, but proven possible)
14. Keep GROWING, for another 4 years, and at a rate you will reach 25 million users
15. SUCCESS

R U ready for step 15? 😉
