How to Predict if a New Business Idea is Any Good
October 21, 2015 /
In 2008, entrepreneur Brian Chesky and his two San Francisco roommates made the rounds of Silicon Valley VC firms with what they thought was a great idea: a website and mobile app that would allow homeowners to open their homes to strangers to sleep on their floor while traveling, in exchange for a nightly fee.
Five VC firms rejected the nascent company’s pitch outright, and another two didn’t even bother to reply. "They didn’t know it would turn out to be a multibillion dollar industry."
