Speaking solely as one potential customer:
I like this idea.
As for the "moat", I think the product with the best automation will win at least a defensible niche within the market. I would encourage you to start upmarket and not worry about price so much right now. Get really good at making the thing run itself; you can cut the price later. (But, I'm someone with a lot more money than time, so that colors my view here.)
(Yes, I'm already on your mailing list.)
- ph0rque 11y agoThanks for the encouragement, Scott. Any idea where to find more customers like you, who don't worry about the price as they have more money than time? ;)
- ScottBurson 11y agoI haven't polled my friends on this, but Silicon Valley (where I live) is full of such people. And a lot of us have yards, the area being resolutely suburban, and of course the weather is great (assuming this thing doesn't need too much water). I don't think a lot of people here want to spend time gardening, but lots of us love fresh vegetables. That's an opportunity, it seems to me.
- ph0rque 11y agoSounds like a fantastic opportunity! One of the benefits of aquaponics is how little water it uses (after the initial fill-up).
