Can you expand on the lack of market validation? What else would validating include, apart from interviewing users (qualitative research)? What kind of useful quantitative research could one do? The obvious answer I can come up with is building a landing page with a sign-up field to gauge interest, but what other useful quantitative research can one do to validate the market?

- alex_c 7y ago"What else would validating include, apart from interviewing users" Interviewing (prospective) users would actually be a good start. Some of the B2C projects I worked on did not do this until after launch. B2B - I've worked on projects that did not have a single prospective client lined up before development started (let alone before MVP launch). I think there is a certain optimism entrepreneurs have in the face of rejection - sometimes it takes the form of "no one is interested right now, but we just need to have an MVP to show them and then they will become interested!"
