from Idea to Startup · host Tacklebox, Brian Scordato, Brian Scordato | Tacklebox

Most startups fail because the thing they built doesn't make a big enough dent in their customers lives. We'll make sure you don't make this mistake with help from Habit Kangaroo, a startup Brian ran back in 2014, and a GMAT training program his friend ran that helped people get into Harvard. TackleboxBeehiiv (Idea to Startup Newsletter)BylddGreenlights0:30 Building a Wildly Useful Startup2:12 Why Measuring Usefulness is Hard7:00 Byldd7:53 Habit Kangaroo12:50 The Usefulness Framework13:24 What is your Secret?13:51 Three Categories of Secrets: Customer14:45 Three Categories of Secrets: Acquisition15:16 Three Categories of Secrets: Product17:08 Rivers and Dams19:00 GMAT over 700 Product23:02 Hire Yourself

Today, we'll help you make sure the thing you're building is wildly useful. Most startups fail because founders build stuff that customers don't care enough about to change their behavior for. We'll use The Usefulness Framework to ensure you don't do that, with help from Habit Kangaroo, a startup Brian ran back in 2014, and a GMAT training program his friend built to help people get into Harvard.
