Week 1. Garcia, Moises

A start-up doesn’t necessarily need a brilliant idea in order for you to start. It can be something super simple, as long as it’s either convenient or easier to use then prior technologies in that area or in the field that you are working on in that start-up. When working on a start-up make sure that it you’re truly going to go for it, that it has your undivided attention, because in order for it to be successful you’ll have to put in a bunch of work. That’s only part of the equation of a successful start-up, you must also make sure that you are passionate about it, because there are going to be a lot of failures in the process and that is ok, being passionate about it will help with the failures. Another main thing to keep in mind, is that no one ever has created a successful start-up by themselves, so make sure that you surround yourself with people that have the skills that you lack in order to  best compliment you, so that if you ever get stuck you have other intelligent minds the are continuously feeding you with ideas or working on other aspects of the start-up. It’s important you don’t rush any part of the start-up process, come up with ideas and make sure they are tested to the fullest capabilities, you don’t want to see yourself down the road struggling with something you could have handled at an earlier stage. If the idea is well thought out and makes sense and is useful to the general public, the money will follow.
