Unless you are trying to solve a particularly hard technical problem (like finding a cure for cancer, building the next big search algorithm, or splitting isotopes), chances are you will be able to build your product given enough time, money, and effort. The bigger risk for most startups is building something nobody wants.

Investors, and more important, customers, identify with their problems and don’t care about your solution (yet). Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are naturally wired to look for solutions. But chasing after solutions to problems no one cares enough about is a form of waste. Your job isn’t just building the best solution, but owning the entire business model and making all the pieces fit.
