"Given most startups fail, conventional wisdom sounds like a pretty bad path to follow."

"Look at any B2B product that's been built... ever. It's almost always been birthed out of the need to get rid of a painful process."

" how can you know if your product solves a major pain?

The most efficient way I’ve found is talking to real, live humans. Not blogging. Not tweeting. Not shooting a mass email out to a list asking what problem they want solved.
