"Build it and they will come" is dangerous advice
by•
"build it and they will come" is the most dangerous startup advice for first-timers.
sell it before you build it. then build.
I posted an idea with zero product behind it.
300+ people said yes in 72 hours. that's when i started building.
Did anyone else build first and wish you'd checked demand earlier? or am i just late to this realization...

Checking first is right, I would not argue with that. But what did the yes actually cost them? Saying yes to a post costs nothing. Money, or a slot in someone's calendar, is a different signal.
Of the 300, how many are using it now? That is the number that tells you the test worked. 🤔
