The points you have made are so pertinent to any startup. What I have found is many founders do not and more likely cannot have an objective view of their "baby" as you call it. It is so difficult for founders to remove themselves from their product and see the realities of it. As you put it, are people willing to pay for it, and I think what you are building will definitely help founders answer that question. A biased view, hope and prayer does not bring paying customers, you need validation and confirmation of people actually wanting to buy your product.
Great post, looking forward to next weeks edition.
As a founder, letting go of your ego is essential. Though challenging, it's critical for success. Few get it right on their first try, but those who actively gather feedback from the market and their customers, and use those insights to refine their product and GTM strategy, will win.
