i attribute my last bootstrap failure to this dynamic, where instead of making something someone wanted, I made something I thought other people should do becaise I knew the domain so deeply. I tell my MBA and ivy league friends that I am quite sure my education is more expensive than theirs as a result. to anyone developing a security product I would say that nobody wants security, they want what the security gets them. this probably generalizes to nobody wants your product, they want what your product gets them, and if you don't understand what that is, there is no PMF. however, it's also better to take advice from people who win instead of those who can over articulate their failures, so caveat emptor, ymmv, etc.
