What can go wrong if I try my own start-up? I'm still at university. So far I've saved about 2000€ which I could spend. I have some ideas (most are stolen of start-ups which failed because their product was just designed the wrong way and they had no idea about how to make it popular). What does it require to start something? What I thought about:
>make a very detailed description (lets say for an app)
>do the UI/UX myself as I'm already very good in that sort of stuff
>do a clickable prototype
And then I have no plan how to proceed. Should I show it to investors? To companies? Or hire someone who develops it (probably fails because I can't go far with only 2000€). Or should I give kickstarter a try? Patreon?

I'm afraid that once I starting my wage slave career after university I won't have the time and patience anymore to start something myself. So probably this is a good time now.

Also, are there any recommended books/courses about that topic?

I'm glad about any advices.

I am a developer myself. You need a working prototype before you can get interest from strangers. Partner up with a student or recent graduate to do the programming for you. I don't know anywhere you could look for legit cheap hires, you will probably end up with people from developing countries answering. Developers are willing to work for smaller amounts but how you find someone who is competent and in your price range is the challenge.

But there are plenty of products which got viral almost without any marketing. Probably lots of luck involved, though. Well, I could already do the website/SEO and social media marketing.. something which I also learned when I was bored.

Thanks for the advice. That might be an good idea to find a student who can do the programming.

Offering equity is the one way to recruit talent but depending on the OPs goal, might not be the right thing to do. Just hire a few pajeets
