To have uncommon idea it must come from a narrow space where you saw a problem to be solved that very few people had the opportunity to see it. For example you're doing some uncommon job working on uncommon things and get some [[Specific knowledge]] that is hard to get and notice problems that you can solve and that other people would want this solved and pay (a lot of money) for it. For example when I was getting started with the startup universe I met some people and one was working in e-commerce and saw some inefficiency in some process of the company and we decided to automate it using [[Large language model|LLM]] and it worked and they gave us $40k. ## You cannot rely on your every day experience Everyone wants to build the next Facebook or Meetup, that's called [[Tar Pit startup]]. It's problems that everyone see so everyone have the same idea. Of course [[Execution is more important than ideas]] but it's going to be more difficult because the bar is higher and there are a lot of competition
