Every first meeting with an entrepreneur starts, for me, with the same question: who does this help? Not "what's the idea" or "what will it cost", but who is the person on the other side, and what changes in their life if this venture happens.

Then I ask what you've already tried. Almost always it turns out the entrepreneurs have done something: talked to ten people, run a small neighborhood experiment, built a spreadsheet. That small experiment is worth more than any slide deck.

And the third question is really an offer: what is the next small step you can take this month? At Alumot we are not looking for five-year plans. We are looking for the next step.

If you have an idea and you're wondering whether it's "big enough", come tell us about it. Even an idea that doesn't have a name yet is a beginning.
