Founders always say ‘Talk to your users.’ Actually doing it is terrifying.

It’s easy to build in a bubble. It’s safe. You and your team can convince each other that everything is working exactly as planned.

That’s exactly where we were before we launched CareerButler in April.
But once we opened the doors to 400+ active users, the bubble popped. We had to separate the ‘noise’ from the ‘signal.’

We learned that validation isn't a checkbox you tick once. It’s a constant loop.

Build what you think works.
Get hit with reality (feedback).
Evolve.
Repeat.

We realized that a tool isn't useful because we say it is. It's useful when a frustrated job seeker lands an interview, or a recruiter finally sees a readable resume.

We moved from ‘Assumption-Based Development’ to ‘Evidence-Based Development.’

That evidence is the core of CareerButler V2.

We are launching this Sunday on Product Hunt. Come see what happens when you actually listen to the market.
