Nobody is Going to Steal Your Stupid Startup Idea, by Adeo Ressi
In this talk from the Denver Founder Institute, Adeo Ressi reminds founders that more often than not, your great startup idea might not actually be as prolific as originally anticipated. He says that instead of wasting months or years of your life on a dead-end project, it’s crucial to determine the value of an idea as early as possible.
Adeo Ressi is the Founder of TheFunded.com and the Founder and CEO of the Founder Institute. As an seasoned entrepreneur and expert startup mentor, he is best known for his raw feedback and candid lectures at Founder Institute sessions worldwide.
