Start-up 101 – Find out what the customer wants first

I am very encouraged by what I have seen this week. A number of people thinking about starting a software company have dropped by TheCodeFactory to exchange ideas. What I particularly like is that instead of doing a bunch of coding first people are actually thinking about who their customer will be and then going out to talk with them.

The lesson here is find the problem you are trying to solve before developing a solution.
