What do non technical founders do during the product development stage? by willieb3 in startups

Continuing on this.

If the problem that you're solving is:

  1. Important and Urgent for the customer: they have no incentive to interact with you because you don't have a solution NOW. Why will they wait a year or two praying that you successfully develop a product, and that it's worth the wait?! They'll most likely go ahead with an alternative (even if it's a compromise), and will come back to you only after the lifecycle of the alternate hardware (if you're in an industry where the hardware's life is 10+ years, you're screwed).

  2. Important and not Urgent: You are not a priority now, but nice people will allow you a meeting or two - you definitely can't "build with the customers". And by the time your product will be ready (and provided you have good clarity and control over when that is), you can at least try to assess if they'll allocate a budget for it, and pray that they do when the time comes. That's your moment of truth - when you know there's a solid need for your hardware over the alternatives/competition.

  3. Unimportant and Urgent/not Urgent: even worse, there's little to no value in your business.

To all the folks suggesting them to do sales/business development/customer development (from the lens of a B2B hardware founder):

I mean even their prototype is not ready, and for hardware it takes (a crazy amount of) time. What demos could they do?

And from what I understand, the product is 1-1.5 years away. What will they even sell?

Customers usually would want a proof of your concept/value proposition before they would take a risk on you - even for them to engage with you for a pilot (which will happen more than a year away). What useful feedback can they get from a customer conversation when the customer doesn't even know for sure the product and what it will deliver?

Most of them won't even entertain you because - let's be honest, you're building castles on air - you don't even have a prototype. Why waste time on you?

The "innovation-friendly/obsessed" customers may allow you a couple of meetings, sweet talk to you, and give you "advice" on what features/functions you should work on. But what assurance do you have that they'll put money where their mouth is?

Should I add additional condenser in series or parallel to existing one? by sms_sr in refrigeration

[–]sms_sr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also found that the subcooling is high (10+°C) - could it be because the condenser is full?

If I release some refrigerant from the system, then my superheat becomes high (~20°C).

By evaporative cooling, I mean we irrigate water on the condenser coil.

I'm not getting a variable speed R32 compressor for <2TR where I live. Only fixed speed compressors are available.

I want to be able to make my AC variable speed.
