This article focuses on the importance of asking questions rather than giving advice to new software companies. The author emphasizes that advising companies can be challenging due to their volatility and unpredictability, and the need for a viable, feasible, and desirable idea. To execute an idea, a company needs talent, creativity, and technology in all three areas. The author also highlights the significance of business models, pricing, customer experience, and technology in start-ups. Key questions include "Is this viable, feasible, and desirable?", "Can you execute on this idea?", "Where will you make a profit?", "How can you increase it?", and "What's in the moat?". The author stresses that asking good questions helps create new ideas for companies to consider and new places for answers to fit.
