Which 3 ways are the best for starting a company
Starting a company depends on your goals, resources, and market context, but three effective approaches stand out based on proven strategies and current trends:
Solve a Real Problem with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
Identify a specific pain point in a market or community, then build a simple, focused product or service to address it. Test it quickly with real users to gather feedback and iterate. This lean startup method minimises risk and costs while validating demand. For example, Airbnb started with a basic website to rent out air mattresses, refining based on user response. Utilise tools like no-code platforms (e.g., Bubble or Webflow) to launch quickly without a significant investment. Focus on customer feedback over perfection to stay agile.Leverage Your Network and Strategic Partnerships
Build on existing relationships to gain traction. Connect with mentors, industry peers, or complementary businesses to access resources, advice, or early customers. Partnerships can amplify reach—think of how Spotify partnered with Facebook early on to boost user growth. Tap into online communities (e.g., LinkedIn, X groups, or industry forums) to find co-founders or collaborators. A strong network provides credibility, shortcuts to market, and potential funding opportunities.Bootstrap with a Service-to-Product Pivot
Start by offering a service to generate cash flow, then use the revenue and insights to develop a scalable product. For instance, many software companies begin as consultancies, building custom solutions for clients before productizing their expertise (e.g., Basecamp started as a web design agency). This approach reduces financial pressure and lets you learn the market intimately. Reinvest profits into product development and marketing to ensure a smooth transition.
