Here is what I have seen happen and work quite effectively.
- Find a bunch of investors (that is anyone with lots of disposable cash)
- Befriend them. Use the 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' techniques on them.
- Come up with any idea, doesn't matter what it is at that point, could be "Uber For Dogs" or "Bitcoin Microloans for Clowns" ...
- Get the cash for the startup. Rent an office. Put CEO on your title. Enjoy playing CEO for 5 years.
- Rinse, repeat.
- In the process make sure to go to every single meetup, and conference and hand out business cards with your title on it as "CEO"
- As soon as any new framework comes around, re-write everything in it. Then write a blog post "We switched from X to Y". Convince said investors that this is a crucially important / strategic priority if they start questioning your methods.
- After blog is written add title "author" next to "CEO".
