How did you validate the need for your startup product?

We are making a presentation designer. We conducted interviews with business owners and managers. We chose cool colors for modern design. And then, at the interview, we hear from the guys that even though we have a blue color, but the wrong shade. At some point, we started hearing it all the time (often). Now we are making a color picker :)

Mostly in the beginning it was feeling the pain myself . I was a lonely musician looking for people near me to make music with . Eventually I decided to interview musicians and found the problem real enough to make something to connect musicians . That idea Runiuni expanded beyond connecting just musicians but into a social hub connecting communities in every region of the world .

In the early stages of the startup, we interviewed the target audience to learn more about their needs. Once the product idea was formed, a new feedback collection showed that we were on the right track. But when our MVP was ready and given to users to test, the new feedback collection took us to a new level of product detail and made major adjustments to the overall concept. It showed us that user feedback is the most important part of the whole startup development process. So I would recommend covering every stage of development with a new user feedback survey.

To validate a startup product, talk directly to potential users to confirm the problem exists and is worth solving. Observe people, not just ask.
