The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Back to Beliefs
Young entrepreneurs should emphasize authentic achievements over inflated experience claims
Evidence
Investors react negatively to 'decades of experience' claims from 20-year-olds but positively to specific early achievements
Implication
Authenticity and specific accomplishments are more credible than cumulative metrics
Counter Belief
Experience claims help young founders appear more credible to older investors and customers
Example Application
Frame founder story around specific achievements: 'started at 8, first product at 12, profitable by 16'
