Talk to potential users early. Obsess over their pain points. Build with them, not just for them. The best products don’t start with code - they start with conversations.
@stella_poole love this!

Talk also about your product. It is nothing worse than doing stealth when you are not publicly known. (When you are publicly known and keep secrets, people are curious.) But when you are unknown, you will stay unknown. :D
@busmark_w_nika I love this! Thank you!
Don't stress too much about funding right away. Build something useful first, money follows value.
@miklesh_pal 100%! Thank you!
Start small, ship fast, and talk to users even faster.
At Growstack, we’ve found that the earlier you validate with real feedback, the less you waste on assumptions. Your first 10 users are worth more than your first 1,000 views.
