Totally fair, that's why I want to launch asap and need devs for it. I'm well aware of this trap. I also already sold similar products to companies, and now pivoting to b2c.

Well, it helps. A lot. It's very hard to build relationships from another country, I know everyone will say it's easy because of covid, but it's not for people from third world countries without prior startup/FAANG experience. I might move tho. And yes, problem is highly in myself, but I'm always trying hard to help people and trying to be more open and communicative.

Maybe you’re right, and maybe you have to learn this in your own way. But it’s often possible to figure out if they’re going to pay for the product without building a full product.
