He actually built a prototype, tested it with users work out exact market traction with good hypotheses and did at least one product iteration similar to exactly how my co-founder, Saumil and I built Chalkboard. Here are a checklist of things which you might want to do if you want to execute the idea and not just talking about it using powerpoint slides or business plans. Read more
