Not sure how much this is worth, I only recently discovered Hacker News (and am 17 also), but if you're having trouble coming up with ideas, it's probably best to find a co-founder who is really good at coming up with ideas....

One of the most common things you here from successful "entrepreneurs" is that they have an overflow of ideas and not enough time to work on all of them.




Don't get a co-founder because they are "really good with coming up with ideas", that is not a good idea. (pun intended)


Do get a co-founder who is good at coming up with customers/revenue if you don't want to do that side.


Thanks for the reply. I'm working on the co-founder thing, it's part of the reason for going to college. And yeah I hear that a lot, which is what makes me think I'm just too critical of my own ideas. I really couldn't be that bad.
