What stuck out to me once I reflected on my failed startup, after I gave up emailing ppl who didn't care about what I built, is that it's actually hard to imagine that I put months into validating instead of building.
It just doesn't really come naturally to my mind. Yet, the fact is, clear as day, that I would have been perhaps better off actually putting 8 (or 10) hrs a day investigating demand.
I do want to do this at scale though, run various threads and ideas (meanwhile i checked OP's platform, it coudl actually be be useful, so thanks).
