Well written article. Thanks for sharing. The service that we are building is not ground breaking or unique, but definitely a market validated one. My friend (now my partner as well) & I decided on one particular idea that is not unique

I am not able to appreciate the contradictory statements here in the blog: # Do not hire a PR firm to do your free marketing for you. This is a core capability you must own. You can and may want to hire a PR firm to supplement your efforts,
