I've talked about consulting here on HN in the past [0]. >> ... but I have a hard time understanding what people are trying to accomplish a lot of the time. This will be a problem. If you have non-technical clients, this will rea

You're welcome! That's really rewarding to hear. Well the pivot was to a specific product category - audio & video. That didn't work out either. Right now, I'm in the process of trying to find a co-founder to pursue

As someone who started with the same idea and eventually pivoted, I'd highly suggest focusing on one vertical. Concentrate on solving this problem for a narrow group (say, outdoorsy people) and move on to other equipment categories. It
