> The main piece of feedback that we got when pitching this idea was that you're going to end up as a master-of-none

Interesting. I'm working on a product based on a similar premise, for end-users, but focused on financial services.

I'm curious, did you try pitching to customers, or just investors?

We were still having product-market-fit surveys with potential customers, and friends (some of whom are investors).

I think narrowing down to a specific industry like you're doing helps the problem immensely. A true schema builder is a hard sell to both non-technical users (when point solutions offer more with WAY less setup) and technical users (see how tech people view Salesforce, for example). However, Quickbase and Airtable are doing it currently. Very interested to see how Airtable matures.
