Risk comes in many shapes and forms. When your company is at the idea stage, you may get together with some co-founders who have excellent founder-market fit. You have identified that there is a problem in the market. Your early potential customer interviews all agree that this is a problem worth solving and that someone is — in theory — willing to pay money to have this problem solved. The first question is: Is it even possible to solve this problem?

For Amy Bass, joy is going to rock concerts with her high school best friend - and their two teenage daughters. "It has been an amazing experience. I loved every second of watching our girls battle for position in the pit at Harry Styles' show. … Indeed, just as we once joined the thousands of voices walking out of a U2 show singing '40' long after the band had left the building, our girls are part of a generation of fans that seems to look out for one another," Bass wrote in a reflection on Taylor Swift-mania and Ticketmaster. Getting tickets to concerts has never been easy, recalled Bass, who remembers sleeping outside in the cold to stay in line for tickets and getting Joey Ramone's guitar pick after her mom accompanied her into a venue at age 15 due to her lack of ID. But Bass argued this amazing generation of kids deserves more magic and less merch. She pledged to stay "in the trenches with my kid, trying to support her love for music the way my mother did for me."
