That’s a mistake I see too many people make. They try to solve a problem and build a product from afar, using their imagination or trying to copy an existing product without having personal relationships with people having that problem (or without having it themselves). I guess it’s possible to create a product first and then find people who need it and iterate from there, but I’ve found that having personal relationships and then making something in response to a common problem they have is the only way to start and grow. That’s what I’ve found “talk to users” actually means.
