Genuinely curious: what s your first-mile approach before you book those early interviews?

Do you start with Reddit deep-dives? Reverse-engineer reviews? Talk to personas in your head?

Most businesses and startups rely on VCs.

I would briefly write it as follows:

Product Hunt was created specifically to showcase what you do. But let s face it, with the progress of AI, there are more and more products and you don t have time to test them all (respect to @gabe , who does this job brilliantly).

I noticed that as my following grew throughout social media, more people contacted me wanting to test products. Of course, I don t have room for everyone, and what s even more shocking is that to get to me, they want to compensate me for testing.
