Can Everyone in Your Startup Answer These Questions?

June 2nd, 2008

Last week, Amir Suissa of Linqia sent me the following questions (published with permission):

What is the core question that we use to project against, to determine if we develop a specific product/feature or not?

What is the user looking for?

If [insert] is our core, how does that manifest to the user?

What is your vision of the path going forward to deliver a coherent user experience on [product] in terms of product priorities, timing, resources allocation (internal/external)?

What is your vision for path to create [company] as a sustainable company, taking in to account financing, product, engineering, business model, time frame (window of opportunity/ investors cash to run the company till proof of concept and revenue generation)?

Can you answer these questions in the context of your company? It took me 2 days to get to my own answers for Linqia. I wonder if Jerry Yang can answer them?
