Do you believe that every startup has the potential to change the world?

Nope. And I don't think most startups should try to change the world. What they should do instead is try improving the workflows of certain niches, and then expand to grow.

Absolutely! Let’s change the world together!

No, not all of them, but they all have the potential to make a difference in their own unique way.

No. Should it really have such potential?

Definitely yes, if a startup is moving in the direction of helping people, it will definitely pay off.

Only those startups who actually want to change the world :)

I don't believe that every startup needs to change the world. Sometimes, helping a specific group of people solve their problems can be a more achievable goal. However, I do believe that the startup journey can profoundly transform the founder's personality. On a subjective level, isn't that what changing the world means?

Every single one? I do not think so. They probably should not try to either. Better to focus on the problems they want to solve and solve them well

This question made me think of Silicon Valley: 😂

Not every startup has the potential to change the world. Success and world-changing impact depend on various factors, including the idea, execution, market conditions, and more. It's essential that the startup's idea genuinely benefits people and addresses some of their problems. Moreover, for a startup to have a global impact, the idea should be relevant to people from different countries and cultures.

I think "changing the world" is is not the right term. Most startups are merely copying the leading companies and have nothing to add to whatever industry they belong to. How can they change the world?? At their best, most startups can change the way we handle things.
