Why my projects keep failing
This is great. I love it when there’s honest post from a builder.<p>The explanation for failure is clear to me. None of these products as they are constructed are customer-lead. They don’t start with product market fit. As crazy as it hounds the number one reason startups fail is a lack of customers.<p>You love building the technical solution. You want to have market success.<p>But your passion is probably not talking to the customer, gathering requirements, or doing promotional talks and webinars.<p>You need a product or marketing focused partner to handle that side of things. I’ve always looked at the ideal team as being three roles: ops, product and maker. The details, the customer and requirements and the build team each are critical to getting product market fit and that’s just everything when it comes to this stuff. I would just focus on finding a partner in crime because your are obviously a wonderfully talented engineer.
