I feel like I have the technical chops down. That I have the business acumen down. But I struggle with the idea.


I’m curious if other entrepreneurs fall into this category, and what you’ve done to alleviate this challenge. I suppose, like many, I was a tech guy first, entrepreneur second. I’ve launched a few app-based and SaaS-based businesses, one of which I successfully sold, and through that experience, went through my crash course in team building, sales, marketing, legal, support, scaling, infrastructure, etc., that really opened my entrepreneurial confidence up.Where I keep struggling is the idea. I’ll give an example - my background is in video engineering for a large TV network, and after that, software development. I started recently building an app, and an infrastructure, for doing high quality livestreams of places around the world, alongside Virtual Reality livestreams of places around the world. Very similar to what EarthCam does, but with a more fluid and pleasurable/modern interface.If I had the capital, I know what I’d do. I’d hire a sales team to find clients who would find value in this type of technology (security, tourism, media production, etc.). I’d streamline the hardware into a more succinct and affordable package. I’d build out the software to have a killer interface, and prepare for the onslaught of VR and AR headsets to come. I’d basically do what I’m pretty sure EarthCam is already doing. And as I try to sit down and put together a pitch deck, I’m asking myself - What is this business? Am I trying to solve a problem that someone else has solved? Or am I trying to solve a problem so insanely niche (does anyone want to pay to see livestreams of the world in VR), it has no business?Does anyone else struggle with this? When you have the pieces of what you’re trying to do, but you don’t quite know who the audience is and what they’d pay for? Or is that the whole idea of being an entrepreneur? see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
