There is a mass of things to get started once you have an idea for an app/business/etc. I want to know what people recommend to get started once you have an idea.<p>Disclaimer: I am not naive or ignorant to the amount of work it takes to implement any sort of idea. I understand that it takes a great deal of work, I don't anticipate doing it all alone, etc. I have read all about it and been part of some startups for a short period.<p>My issue is sort of the 'analysis paralysis' deal, where there are many paths to take (mockups, customer validation, just code, design, etc) that I don't know which is the most important.<p>Any suggestions on first steps?
If you're technical:
Build the first (scrappy) version yourself and do some initial testing with potential users<p>If you're not:
Do customer development by talking to customers and verifying that there is a need and that they will pay. then, with data in hand, try to get a technical co-founder that shares your vision to help you build it
