In this article, Joshua Steimle shared why he thought great ideas are worthless. He simply writes “An idea combined with successful execution can change the world. An idea by itself is worthless.” Steimle begins by writing about how VCs don’t enjoy signing NDAs since they are oftentimes listening to ideas that don’t include a robust strategy – not something that they consider valuable. They don’t want to just hear an idea since they won’t be executing on it and if it’s not too hard to introduce, then someone else is bound to get to it sooner rather than later. All good ideas need to be paired with a worthwhile execution.
