Entrepreneurs and makers, what’s been your biggest hurdle in taking a product from idea to launch?

Probably the biggest roadblock is motivation! Keep yourself motivated - and you shall see your product in the hands of users!

As a woman in the startup world, my main hurdle was getting funding—there's a real gender gap in investment. I tackled this by networking fiercely with other women entrepreneurs and targeting investors who value diversity. My tip? Build a support squad full of boss ladies 👩‍💼🚀 and back each other up. It's all about who you know and showing the strength in your vision. Keep shining and pushing those boundaries! Keep slaying the startup game, and remember your unique perspective is your superpower! 💖✨

Hi Aman, Navigating the journey from idea to launch can certainly be filled with roadblocks. For me, the most significant hurdle was finding the right balance between perfection and progress. Early on, I found myself getting stuck in a cycle of constant revisions, trying to make the product 'perfect' before launch. The breakthrough came when I adopted the 'minimum viable product' (MVP) approach, focusing on creating a product with just enough features to satisfy early customers and provide feedback for future product development. This mindset shift allowed me to gather valuable user insights early on and make improvements in iterations. Embracing the fact that no product is perfect at the outset and that feedback is a golden pathway to refinement was pivotal. I'd advise any entrepreneur to define the core value proposition of their product, launch it, and then iterate based on real-world usage. This approach not only accelerates time-to-market but also builds a community of users who feel invested in the product's evolution." Remember, every launch is a learning experience and brings you closer to where you want to be. Good luck on your journey! 😊
