Signs of a Great Startup Idea Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In reviewing startup ideas for your business here is a list of signs pointing to good ones: Growth -- there’s a growing market around it. Broad-based -- a lot of people have the problem you are trying to solve. Urgent -- people need to solve the problem immediately. Mandatory -- the problem must be solved and cannot be ignored. Frequent -- the problem comes up regularly and not just once in a while. Budget -- the customer has enough funds to pay for the solution. Authority -- your customer has the authority to buy the solution. Experience -- you know well the problem and the market.  Network effects -- you can build network effects into the solution and gain those advantages. Switching costs -- the solution is sticky and difficult to move out of it. Test your startup idea with these conditions to see how well it works.
