Episode notes
Product-Market Fit
- Conduct thorough customer interviews to understand their pain points and needs.
- Identify whether your product is a "vitamin" (nice to have) or an "aspirin" (need to have).
Balancing Vision and Revenue
- A product without a core pain-relieving function ("painkiller") will be ignored by the market.
- Balance a big vision with near-term revenue generation; find adjacent problems to solve along the way.
Fundraising Strategy
- In early-stage fundraising, investors bet on the entrepreneur, not just the company.
- Prioritize returning investment to investors and increasing your entrepreneurial status over high valuations.
