- Just because some people clicked on features they want, it doesnt mean they will pay for it once you launch.
- Just because some people are using your free features, it doesnt mean they will pay for it once it is paid.
- Just because you have 5 paying customers, doesnt mean it will be easy to find out 500 more.
- Just because you have 500 paying customers, it doesnt mean what you did to acquire these 500 will scale to the next 5000.
- Just because you have 5000 paying customers, it doesnt mean that there won't be a new upstart which will dramatically undercut your offering and acquire most of these.
There is a name for this validation process - its called a 'startup'.
- troymcginnis 13y agoWell said. Everyone has to start somewhere :)
- assasinine 13y agoexactly. startups are essentially always validating, beginning with what sendwithus/others did to get a product and idea, and then going through the steps sonink listed. like sonink is saying, there are no guarantees with startups, so you might as well try to stack the deck in your favour right from the get-go.
