Iteration is a pretty widely used word that is talked about in the startup world. But what really is it? My mind first off goes to companies like basecamp or twitter. Just extremely simple with with small improvements here and there along the way. I read an excellent blog post “why iteration is a powerful way to build a startup” that’s definitely worth checking out as well. I really believe it’s the only way to go. Have an idea? Build and make sure your creation works. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Have a large emphasis on feedback. Maintain the frame of mind that modifications and improvements will be made based off of feedback. Is the feedback negative? Means you need to change something or do something completely different. Being able to save yourself from massive headaches because you built and built and built only to finally realize people don’t like your product could be detrimental to your success.
