I'd say the same to tech side who obviously didn't do Customer Development and wanted a B-side role.

Working your ass off is not sufficient to ensure success.

By "suspect" I meant those are the customers that I can see the need already. I understand the sentiment of needing validation to commit significant time to an idea, but I'm also a big believer in rapid prototyping and getting something in a limited number of users hands to work the kinks out before going for large traction. It's the classic chicken and egg problem. Can't have users without a product, can't build a great product without users.
