How do you come up with ideas for new features (products)?

Listening to your customers is better if you already have a product, but focusing on your vision is more important. If not, it's better to solve a problem you faced or others faced worth solving. Otherwise, dive deep into your industry or exciting topics you will find a problem worth solving.

Hi Sveta, Interacting with customers is the best way to get new ideas. Also being in the customers shoes always helps to come up with great ideas.

The best way for me is by taking feedback from existing users.

1. spend time researching your competition. 2. reach out to your customers and try having phone calls with them. 3. analyze your data 4. talk with your team 5. talk to enthusiast people who would love to give you feedback and new ideas (crowdsource). twitter gets tons of feedback for new features for example

I think it is a balance of getting feedback from users, but also trusting your instinct sometimes and building the things that really excite you, or that you wish could exist

Once you've got your ideas, I have found that Y Combinator has a some really great YouTube videos from their past Startup School sessions about Evaluating Startup Ideas. I would highly recommend these videos!
