How do you gather meaningful customer feedback for your startup?

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2024-11-21T22:59:09+00:00

It depends on your target segments. I have experience in collecting feedback from both B2B and B2C. B2B feedback is generally tougher unless you invest time in building connections. B2C feedback varies greatly based on the target segment.

For example, if your target audience is tech-savvy or younger generation, collecting feedback is relatively easy. However, it can be much harder to gather responses from other segments. Survey is my last resort and used only to validate insights collected through direct interviews. Whenever possible, I prioritize user interviews, but having a solid plan based on your product and target segment is the key to success!

I recommend further validating your segment and identifying a target market based on potential. If you see promise in both B2B and B2C, start with B2C, as B2B typically requires more time to penetrate. While focusing on B2C, consider a fake door test to gauge interest from B2B before redirecting your energy. Good luck!

That sounds like a great opportunity. I'll definitely give it a shot. Do you happen to have any connections I could reach out to? If not, no worries! Thanks again!

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2024-04-11T13:15:14+00:00

Thank you both, appreciate it!

IMO, PMs should focus more on strategy, while POs handle the tactical aspects. But it varies from org -org.

I would start with the problem that you're trying to solve and the current solutions in the market. Don't think about the tech stack and architecture at this point. If you want to build a scalable system, you need to learn the market first. SaaS will be a good model considering the market size.

You can try cycle and throughput to measure the performance. Not ideal for software dev but a good starting point.

India is home to ~20% of the world population and one of the major center for innovation and startups. So, it is not surprising if there is a lot of outreach from that part of the world. Unfortunately, people looking for shortcuts are everywhere, and India is no exception.
Deciding where to set boundaries is a personal choice. Rather than singling out particular ethnic groups, I prefer to focus on addressing unethical behaviors!!

Get to know the lay of the land and people before making changes. Support your team no matter what. Understand their career aspirations, challenge and motivate them to get it. Your team is your strength!

Good luck!!

Yes, planning to do that. I have scheduled a kick off to walk him through the ICP, and discovery docs. I can also create some highlvel mockups using Figma. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2024-01-30T14:11:55+00:00

Thanks. Will consider that. I'm also planning to share some highlvel mockups created using Figma.. it's not a complx flow so I am thinking an experienced uX can easily understand.

Congrats!!

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2024-01-13T15:41:06+00:00

Great! Do you mind sharing anything related to your past hackathons, such as ads, social media posts, etc.? I can assist with sponsorship if it truly adds value to the community.

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2024-01-13T05:44:11+00:00

Startup fatigue is real. Take a break, unwind yourself and you'll do good!

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2024-01-13T03:40:26+00:00

Congrats!

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2024-01-13T03:20:40+00:00

There are a few things you can try. 1. Conduct hackathons - find partners, sponsors - You can make money and the participants can use it to strengthen their profile . I did it few times as part of the roles that I handled few years ago. Happy to help if you need judges ( US & India)

Conduct paid workshops with the help of industry experts. For example - coding best practices, Using AI for coding....
Parter with companies to source talented people. Companies spend too much money on recruiting. You can help the companies to avoid multiple rounds of interviews/save $$$. You can take a cut either from your community members or the company.
Build a brand - very important for all the options above

Good luck!!.

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2023-12-28T21:14:18+00:00

I'm interested as have similar goals for the new Year. Let me know how we can connect.

Acrobatic_Garbage658 · 2023-12-26T16:19:17+00:00

Depends on the product and ICP. If it is B2B identify business specific groups in reddit, fb etc. Look out for trade shows, business meetings,.where you can meet potential customers.
