Why did you decide to spend a year building something before releasing it? Wouldn't you want to validate the value your product brings to the table before spending that long on it?

Agreed -- the conversations I was having based on that were more about projected value it might offer rather than the current value. I wanted to see if I could people invested in the idea and my capabilities to deliver it, more so than the actual product as it existed at that time.

One year is not that much for a one man band but a) I believe I know the value it brings and b) even with a valuable idea you're still very far away from a successful product/company.
