- alouanchi 12y agoI red some blogs but not yet the books. I will do. I understand and I agree I should interact with users/business to see If my idea can solve their problem but my concern is I don't have yet the product to show it to them. I wanted to get some feedbacks from experiences that someone got. I thanks for the link. I will try to follow it.
- nreece 12y agoTo start with, talk to people who're the target audience for this idea or the underlying problem behind it. Try to gauge if they face the same/similar problem(s) that your idea is going to address. Ideally, having some sort of early financial commitment (e.g. crowd-funding, pre-orders etc.) from interested people, is a good indication that your idea solves a problem real & big enough that people will pay for it, which is the most essential thing for startup success.
