Starting small
“Every startup should start with a very small market. Always err on the side of starting too small. The reason is simple: it’s easier to dominate a small market than a large market. If you think your initial market might be too big, it almost certainly is.”
-Zero to One, Peter Thiel

“Procuring construction materials efficiently and cost-effectively is a common challenge for contractors and construction companies. The process of sourcing materials from suppliers, comparing prices, and managing orders can be time-consuming and complex. A potential startup idea could be an online marketplace for construction materials that connects contractors with a network of verified suppliers, allowing them to browse a wide range of products, compare prices, and place orders seamlessly. This platform could offer features such as real-time inventory updates, price negotiation tools, secure payment options, and delivery tracking services. By centralizing the procurement process and offering transparency in material sourcing, this marketplace could help construction companies save time, reduce costs, and streamline their supply chain operations.”
