Stanford Entrepreneurship corner, From Stanford to Startup No.3 Finding the Problem is the Hard Part

From Stanford to Startup No.3 Finding the Problem is the Hard Part

Finding the solution to the problem is the hardest part. I always thought like, you're faced with these problems that people have, you assume that you know exactly what you're going to tackle, and the hard part is finding that algorithm. The hard part is scaling that solution. It turns out... thank you, Mike... that the hard part is actually finding the problem to solve. Solutions actually come pretty easily for the majority of problems. Not for every problem, but for the majority of problems. And in our case, what we did is when we sat down and we were deciding to work on Instagram, what we did was we wrote down the top five problems people have with mobile photos because we wanted to build a product that solved problems. We didn't want to just build a cool app to look for a problem that people had. We wanted to do it the other way around.

So what we did was we listed out these five problems. And I remember the top three that we circled. Number 1 was that mobile photos don't look so great. We've all had that experience... you're seeing the sunset, you take a snapshot, and it looks washed out, you can barely see the sun, etcetera. And we were like, 'That's the major problem we want to solve.' Number 2 was that uploads on mobile phones take a really long time. So we were like, 'What could we do around that?' Well, maybe if we started the upload way before you're done even editing the photo's caption, and what if we sized down the photo just to fit perfectly on the screen but nothing else? And that's the small little problem and solution that it turns out really delights people because they press 'done' entering their caption, it's already been uploaded.The third problem was that we really wanted to allow you to share out to multiple services at once. We felt like, should you have to make the decision of taking a photo with a Facebook app, the Twitter app, so on and so on, or should you just take it in one place and distribute it to many places at once? Those top three problems allowed us to really hone in on what solution we wanted to build. And that's really what Instagram became. I also wanted to say that once you have those top problems that you want to solve, you need to verify that they're actually the ones that people have. And really the way to do that is get your product in front of people very quickly and test that hypothesis. I think too many people wait a long time... and I'm going to talk about this a little later. Too many people wait a long time to see whether or not what they're working on is actually the problem people are having. And the last point is that, really, you should not be afraid to have simple solutions to simple problems. Like I said early on, I think too many people believe you have to solve things in a really complicated way. And at the end of the day, if you delight people even a little bit with a simple solution, it turns out it goes very far. That first day when we had something like 20,000 new users, I was like, 'Clearly there was a need for this that hadn't been done before,' and I'm so glad we tackled those simple problems. There's something about... in the tech community, you always want to feel like you're working on the hardest problem in the world. It turns out that simple problem becomes very hard at scale. And that's what's really exciting. In a way, we often... in our entrepreneurship classes we hear about the Big Hairy Audacious Goal, like, 'What's the huge chunk you're trying to bite off and tackle?' And one thing that really struck me was that that Big Hairy Audacious Goal could be bringing that simple solution to something delightful to the masses. Yeah. And that, in itself, is a huge challenge.

И в нашем случае, когда мы сели и решили работать над Instagram, мы записали пять главных проблем людей с мобильными фотографиями, потому что мы хотели создать продукт, который решал проблемы. 就我們而言,當我們坐下來決定在 Instagram 上工作時,我們所做的就是寫下人們在移動照片方面遇到的前五個問題,因為我們想開發一款能夠解決問題的產品。 We didn't want to just build a cool app to look for a problem that people had. We didn't want to just build a cool app to look for a problem that people had. Мы не хотели просто создавать классное приложение для поиска проблем, с которыми сталкиваются люди. 我們不想只是建立一個很酷的應用程式來尋找人們遇到的問題。 We wanted to do it the other way around. نحن|||||||| We wanted to do it the other way around. Мы хотели сделать наоборот. 我們想反其道而行。

So what we did was we listed out these five problems. So what we did was we listed out these five problems. Итак, что мы сделали, так это перечислили эти пять проблем. And I remember the top three that we circled. ||||||||dairleştirdi ||||||||丸を付けた And I remember the top three that we circled. И я помню первую тройку, которую мы обвели. Number 1 was that mobile photos don't look so great. Number 1 was that mobile photos don't look so great. Номер 1 заключался в том, что мобильные фотографии выглядят не так уж хорошо. We've all had that experience... you're seeing the sunset, you take a snapshot, and it looks washed out, you can barely see the sun, etcetera. ||||||||gün batımı||||fotoğrafı||||solgun||||||||ve benzeri ||||||||||||||||||||||||など We've all had that experience... you're seeing the sunset, you take a snapshot, and it looks washed out, you can barely see the sun, etcetera. У всех нас был такой опыт... вы видите закат, делаете снимок, и он выглядит размытым, вы едва видите солнце и так далее. And we were like, 'That's the major problem we want to solve.' И мы подумали: «Это главная проблема, которую мы хотим решить». Number 2 was that uploads on mobile phones take a really long time. |||yüklemeler|||||||| Number 2 was that uploads on mobile phones take a really long time. Номер 2 заключался в том, что загрузка на мобильные телефоны занимает очень много времени. So we were like, 'What could we do around that?' Итак, мы подумали: «Что мы можем с этим поделать?» Well, maybe if we started the upload way before you're done even editing the photo's caption, and what if we sized down the photo just to fit perfectly on the screen but nothing else? ||||||||||||||fotoğrafın||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||サイズを変更し||||||||||||| Ну, может быть, если мы начнем загрузку еще до того, как вы закончите редактировать даже подпись к фотографии, и что, если мы уменьшим размер фотографии, чтобы она идеально помещалась на экране, но ничего больше? And that's the small little problem and solution that it turns out really delights people because they press 'done' entering their caption, it's already been uploaded.The third problem was that we really wanted to allow you to share out to multiple services at once. |||||||||||||zevkler||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||喜ばせる||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| And that's the small little problem and solution that it turns out really delights people because they press 'done' entering their caption, it's already been uploaded.The third problem was that we really wanted to allow you to share out to multiple services at once. И это маленькая маленькая проблема и решение, которое, как оказалось, действительно радует людей, потому что они нажимают «Готово», вводя свою подпись, она уже загружена. Третья проблема заключалась в том, что мы действительно хотели позволить вам поделиться сразу с несколькими сервисами. We felt like, should you have to make the decision of taking a photo with a Facebook app, the Twitter app, so on and so on, or should you just take it in one place and distribute it to many places at once? |||||||||||||||||||||それ||||||||||||||||||||| We felt like, should you have to make the decision of taking a photo with a Facebook app, the Twitter app, so on and so on, or should you just take it in one place and distribute it to many places at once? Мы подумали, должны ли вы принять решение сделать фотографию с помощью приложения Facebook, приложения Twitter и т. д. или вы должны просто сделать снимок в одном месте и распространить его во многих местах одновременно? Those top three problems allowed us to really hone in on what solution we wanted to build. ||||||||keskinleştirmek|||||||| ||||||||絞る|||||||| Those top three problems allowed us to really hone in on what solution we wanted to build. Эти три основные проблемы позволили нам действительно отточить то решение, которое мы хотели создать. And that's really what Instagram became. And that's really what Instagram became. И это действительно то, чем стал Instagram. I also wanted to say that once you have those top problems that you want to solve, you need to verify that they're actually the ones that people have. I also wanted to say that once you have those top problems that you want to solve, you need to verify that they're actually the ones that people have. Я также хотел сказать, что когда у вас есть основные проблемы, которые вы хотите решить, вам нужно убедиться, что они действительно есть у людей. And really the way to do that is get your product in front of people very quickly and test that hypothesis. ||||||||||||||||||||hipotez И на самом деле способ сделать это — очень быстро представить свой продукт людям и проверить эту гипотезу. I think too many people wait a long time... and I'm going to talk about this a little later. Я думаю, что слишком много людей ждут долго... и я собираюсь поговорить об этом чуть позже. Too many people wait a long time to see whether or not what they're working on is actually the problem people are having. Слишком многие люди долго ждут, чтобы увидеть, действительно ли то, над чем они работают, является проблемой, с которой сталкиваются люди. And the last point is that, really, you should not be afraid to have simple solutions to simple problems. И последний момент: на самом деле не нужно бояться простых решений простых проблем. Like I said early on, I think too many people believe you have to solve things in a really complicated way. Как я уже говорил ранее, я думаю, что слишком многие люди считают, что нужно решать проблемы очень сложным способом. And at the end of the day, if you delight people even a little bit with a simple solution, it turns out it goes very far. |||||||||zevk|||||||||||||||| |||||||||喜ばせる|||||||||||||||| И в конце концов, если хоть немного порадовать людей простым решением, оказывается, оно заходит очень далеко. That first day when we had something like 20,000 new users, I was like, 'Clearly there was a need for this that hadn't been done before,' and I'm so glad we tackled those simple problems. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||嬉しい||取り組んだ||| В тот первый день, когда у нас появилось около 20 000 новых пользователей, я подумал: «Очевидно, что это было необходимо, чего раньше не было», и я так рад, что мы решили эти простые проблемы. There's something about... in the tech community, you always want to feel like you're working on the hardest problem in the world. Есть что-то в этом... в техническом сообществе вы всегда хотите чувствовать, что работаете над самой сложной проблемой в мире. It turns out that simple problem becomes very hard at scale. Оказывается, простая проблема становится очень сложной в масштабе. And that's what's really exciting. И это то, что действительно интересно.

Yeah. Ага. And that, in itself, is a huge challenge. И это само по себе является огромным вызовом.
