Selling is super hard. Ideas are worthless if you can't sell. My thesis is that make sure you have the connections to make the initial sells and you have the personality trait to ask for referral and grow from the initial sales.
If you haven’t figured out a way to guaranteed sales yet, don’t hope for a miracle with marketing. When you start investing in marketing you will find yourself convincing yourself you are investing in the goodwill which might generate sales down the line which is a lie*.
I think many people take on investors hoping that will lead to sales leads or an "in" in the industry. Sometimes that backfires because the investors will setup metrics, KPI and goals which is often based on sales itself!
Don't build something that the world needs, build something that you can sell!
