If you look at successful pivots, they almost always are a pivot into something that the founder wanted. Not a random made up idea.

What being a founder means, is signing up for this years long grind on execution - and you can't outsource this.

You want an idea about what you can say. I know it sounds like a bad idea but here's specifically why its actually a great one. You want to sound crazy but you want to ask to be right.

You certainly don't need to have everything figured out in the path from here to world domination.

In general, it's best if you're building something that you yourself need.

We've seen a lot of data at YC now, and the most successful companies and the ones where the investors do the best... end up giving a lot of stock out to employees- year after year after year.

Most of the best hires that I've made in my entire life have never done that thing before.
