these are all the few challenges I faced many times. . . breaking this chicken or egg problem is not easy . . .
1. I need to connect with customers before I have a product, but I need a product to attract customers.
2. I want to validate my idea, but potential customers hesitate to provide feedback without a tangible product.
3. Understanding customer needs feels like a guessing game until a solution is presented.
4. Achieving product-market fit demands feedback, yet building an audience first seems daunting. #startup #Founder
How did you solve these? (Kindly don't provide bookie/advices) I need realistic experience that helped you to break this problems.

1. Talk to people about their problems to see if your idea would actually help them. If it does, add them to a list
2. Design a prototype in Figma or Whimsical. Alternatively you could launch a 1 feature MVP
3. If you've done your research properly and actually communicated with the people that you want to use your app, it shouldn't be a guessing game. if you're guessing, you need more data.
4. Even getting feedback from just 10 people can be valuable. building an audience can take time but consistency is the only thing that will make it happen

@influence_labs Thanks. Agreed on 3 & 4.
"Talk to people about their problems to see if your idea would actually help them. If it does, add them to a list."
- Assume that I have an idea, which people should I ask? how do I know, who are all my potential customers for the idea?
