Whats inspired you to work on your current project/product/startup?

For any idea there is a starting point. Circumstance, struggle, fascination or even epiphany there is a "aha moment " for an idea to spring up.

What led you take the problem in your own hands and start building something
what inspired you ?

    Hey, I am a few projects in now and real Aha-moments are sparse. What comes closest are frustrations I want to automate:

    • A few days before Stenos.io was born I had a meeting In which people referred to details from an earlier meeting but nobody had those details in their notes
    • Right now I have something boiling because I read a lot of needlessly long strategy documents. Not sure if I'm gonna build it, but it goes like: Blinkist for corporate documents.

    However most of the time I have 3 or 4 ideas broiling and I talk about them a lot. Then, every now and then, I'll be inspired to start one and sometimes, deo volente, I finish one. I experience that those two steps depend on headroom and technical possibility/fun to build.
