Here are 6 key lessons I've learned during the past 8 years:

๐Ÿ. Forget about all your market research and start with a clean sheet.

๐Ÿ. Talk to about 120-160 people spread over 12-16 experiments.

๐Ÿ‘. Don't sell your product; learn everything about your customer's behaviours, emotions and problems.

๐Ÿ’. Pick the best-fitting earnings model you can find (There's more than just a subscription model out there!).

๐Ÿ“. Pitch your value proposition face-to-face, including your earnings model, and get at least a 40% commitment.

๐Ÿ”. Build your business case and unit case only after you've got commitments.

I hope this is helpful.
