Paradigm shifts are obvious and quickly associated as “new products” and I’d guess what most people are expecting you to show them when you say “check out my new product”. It sounds like you’re building something they don’t view as such. Perhaps it just looks incomplete because it only does a few things. Perhaps it replicates 100 things they’ve seen before but adds 1 thing incrementally. In either case, I think what they really mean with their feedback is “I don’t need this” or “I wouldn’t pay for this”. If your startup is a feature, that’s fine if it’s a good enough feature that they’d pay you for it. I think since you’re gathering feedback, just try to drill into it to understand it’s meaning and why. In other words, ask them more questions about what they mean with their statements.
