I've been going down a rabbit hole recently around idea validation. In the past, when starting a business of project, I have done everything from blindly pursuing the idea until something worked (often hard) right through to doing a more formal testing of the idea (worth it but harder to be objective). I'm curious. How do PH people do idea validation? If you have a great idea, what are your next steps? Edit: there have been some really fantastic thoughts and suggestions here! Starting with the end-user in mind is key, in an effort to understand their pains. I'm still curious as to how to ascertain market demand. Where do you go to see potential demand for an idea?
Hi! Reading the research from 2017 (https://www.pewresearch.org/inte...) I found out that smartphone ownership among US older adults had jumped from 18% to 42% since 2013. Assuming it has been growing since I think there are not that many apps that are customized for these people. What do you think about that?
Hi Makers! Quarantine has been tough here in London, with limited open spaces and a general feel of zombie apocalypse in the streets. Fortunately I have found comfort in working on my passion project which I am planning to beta launch in Q4 2020. I wanted to reach out to my fellow makers and start a discussion on how and when is the best time to launch on PH? The opinions and feedback from experienced founders would be invaluable through beta testing, however with the project being a travel app there are certain, umm, limitations in the current environment and users wont be able to experience the end to end experience. Should we launch on PH without users being able to make the final purchase or wait?
