Height Solutions: Start by Understanding the Problem
Don't rush to solve how short guys can look taller. Sure, you could suggest platform shoes, standing on boxes, or even surgical options (though stretching the neck seems risky!).
You could point to Tom Cruise or Kamala Harris having that mysterious "tall energy," or mention that French president who allegedly positioned shorter people behind him to look taller in photos.
But here's the real point - and what makes Burak's post so valuable:
Before you invest time and money developing any solution, take a step back. Understand how your potential customers actually experience the problem. How does being shorter affect them specifically? What situations matter most to them?
Only after you truly understand their perspective can you develop something they'll actually want to buy.
This is what smart founders do. They don't jump straight to building. They validate the real problem first.
Like Dropbox showing a demo video before writing a single line of code - and getting 75,000 signups overnight. They understood the problem before building the solution.
Great advice from Burak. Definitely my #postoftheday - absolutely essential wisdom for founders to internalize. #AngelThink
