Interesting. Did you raise capital for the company? So what would you have done differently, or asked another way, how do you approach a new business idea now. Do you start with consumer research? Just focus on a light weight MVP to look for market validation?

Sorry just saw this.
Yes we raised from angels. It was a painful exp.
Challenge your assumption. In my case coming from a b2b background I had the pain point of having to call around to a bunch of different sources to get parts. I wrongly assumed consumers had the same pain point.
I move much more methodically now in terms of who is my actual customer.
Hope this helps.
