Ask HN: Outliner templates for building a startup

8 points by edb 15 years ago · 5 comments · 1 min read


I recently discovered WorkFlowy and org-mode, and fell in love with the idea of organizing my thoughts in outline form.

I was curious if anybody wanted to share their high-level "templates" for how they organize their thoughts for their startup, or any project (web or otherwise) for that matter.

And just to get the ball rolling; I'll start with my first draft at my business planning outline I ended up with after a brainstorming session :

    - Product Development
      - Features
      - Bugs
      - Design
        - Feedback
        - Direction
    - Marketing
      - Launch
      - Viral Component
      - Incentivize referrals / Customer Acquisition
    - Business
      - Raise Money
      - Monetize
    - Brain Dump

    I'm not sure if these are in order but I would put monetize before raise money. I try to build a revenue model into a business rather than just assume I'll be able to raise money to fund the company.

      Good point, I'm more interested in "Things I need to think about" right now though. I guess I'll research 'how to write a business plan' a bit more.

I found this interesting: http://thestartuptoolkit.com/ It's template for developing a startup idea.
