Sam Altman advises that the idea must come first, and you should wait to start a company until you have a concept you are passionately compelled to solve. He argues that starting a startup without a great idea creates pressure to fabricate one, whereas the best startups emerge from a founder’s deep belief that a company is the best vehicle for their specific vision.
To generate these ideas, Altman recommends:
- Notice your own problems: Most transformational companies start with founders solving their own inefficiencies or pain points.
- Identify new possibilities: Pay attention to things that became possible this year but weren’t possible last year, as these often signal the seed of a major shift.
- Embrace contrarian thinking: Look for ideas that seem like bad ideas to most people but are actually good; if everyone agrees an idea is good, it is likely too crowded.
- Avoid forcing it: Instead of trying to actively invent ideas, learn about various fields, hang out with smart people, and let ideas emerge naturally from noticing problems and technological shifts.
Once an idea is found, it should be simple enough to start but possess the potential to scale. You should test if the idea could be “huge if it worked” and ensure you are well-suited for it, as founder/company fit is as critical as product/market fit. Ultimately, you should choose the idea you think about most when you are not trying to work on it.
