问HN：对于早期创业公司来说，什么才算是有意义的追求？
在创业过程中，当我们构建产品时，几乎不可避免地会遇到需要转型的时刻，无论是在假设阶段还是在产品发布后。那么，我们如何确保转型不仅仅是方向的改变，而是真正推动团队和产品的增长呢？
我的结论是：我们需要清晰地定义我们想要专注的领域，并仅在该领域内进行转型。
这是因为我相信，从每一次尝试中获得的洞察、经验和人脉应该直接为下一个挑战做出贡献。当然，有许多团队以其他方式取得了成功，但对我们来说，这种方法似乎是实现快速增长和真正进步的最有效路径。
这就是我决定专注于“代理”的原因。
我深知有些怀疑者会认为“代理只是炒作”或“热潮已经过去”。但市场仍在关注代理，颠覆性产品也在不断涌现。像MCP和A2A这样的协议也在发布，推动代理生态系统的快速增长。
与其争论这是红海还是蓝海，我更看重这种增长和生态系统发展的速度，将其视为一个不可忽视的机会——而由这种快速发展带来的不可避免的挑战，既是创业公司需要解决的问题，也是创业公司应该抓住的机会。
自2023年初以来，我一直在构建大型语言模型（LLM）应用，甚至在“代理”这一概念成为主流之前。得益于我现有的网络，我拥有数百个潜在用户的联系，这极大地影响了我专注于这一领域——代理的决定。
现在轮到你了。你是如何应对自己的创业旅程的？我始终渴望向他人学习。

When building a product as a startup, it’s almost inevitable that you’ll reach a point where you need to pivot, whether it’s at the hypothesis stage or after launching a product. But how can we ensure that a pivot becomes more than just a change in direction and actually leads to real growth for the team and product?<p>My conclusion was this: we need to clearly define the domain we want to focus on and pivot only within that space.<p>This is because I believe that the insights, experiences, and networks gained from each attempt should directly contribute to the next challenge. Of course, there are many teams that have succeeded in other ways, but for us, this approach felt like the most efficient path for fast growth and real progress.<p>That’s why I decided to focus on “Agent.”<p>I am well aware that there are skeptics who argue “Agents are just hype” or “The buzz is already over.” But the market is still paying attention to agents and game-changing products are continuing to emerge. Protocols like MCP and A2A are also being released leading to rapid growth of the agent ecosystem.<p>Rather than debating whether it’s a red ocean or blue ocean, I see this pace of growth and ecosystem development as an opportunity that can’t be disregarded - and the inevitable challenges that arise from this fast-pace development are both the problem startups are meant to solve and chances which startups should take.<p>I have been building LLM applications since early 2023, even before the concept of “agents” became mainstream. Thanks to my existing network, I have a network of hundreds of potential users; this greatly influenced my decision to concentrate on this field - agent.<p>Now it’s your turn. How are you navigating your own startup journey? I am always eager to learn from others.
