This is the most thought-provoking company I’ve encountered in a long time. Congrats on doing genuinely interesting innovation. Speaking as a potential user, my biggest hang up is trust. How can I trust that Roundtable’s results are accurat

That definitely makes sense to me in B2B startups because that’s where I’ve spent my career. But what does “sales” look like in B2C startups, which is my current project?
