What Three Questions Does Aviel Ginzburg Use to Judge a Startup?

at 7:44

From the episode: Aviel Ginzburg. Startup founder turned VC and a dad.

Aviel Ginzburg, co-founder of Simply Measured and a partner at Founders' Co-op, says he splits a startup into three questions, in order: can it exist, should it exist, and how does it exist. He raises them while talking about a team that finally has the resources to test whether it can tackle a problem and prove a market. The point of the order is to settle possibility before debating whether anyone ought to build it, and to settle that before arguing about how to build it.
