Updated Problem Statement
Hi everyone,
I'm going back to the drawing board on my problem statement and offer over Christmas.
Local early-stage software startup founders struggle to ship and sell their products because they over-engineer solutions without dedicating sufficient resources to validating demand, building an audience, and selling.
Instead of talking to real customers, testing willingness to pay early, and iterating on the product in a scrappy way, they hide behind insanely complex product work or pursue fundraising as a band-aid.
This behavior is driven by fear of embarrassment and discomfort with the business development process.
The result could be either wasting months or years spent building products nobody buys, raising capital on bad terms, and running the company in zombie mode for years, or burnout and a return to a corporate career they wanted to escape.
All feedback welcome!
