How do I determine the compliance of startups with the market?

The idea is that every startup corresponds to one of these archetypes to a greater or lesser extent. Determining this can help a startup focus and grow.1. “Hair on Fire”

This archetype implies that your startup is solving an urgent problem.

2. “Hard Fact”

This archetype describes a startup that solves an existing problem better than the solutions available on the market. 

3. “Vision of the Future”

This archetype refers to startups working on deep technology or lunar projects. These are companies that create quantum technologies or develop flying cars.

Sequoia uses this scheme (Hair on Fire/Hard Fact/Vision of the Future) in its Arc program to help startups in the early stages of development. It also helps the firm evaluate potential investments in startups.
