This guide is organized into 5 main steps:

⁠

1. Ideation⁠

⁠

2. Feasibility Analysis⁠

4. Product Testing + Iterating⁠

⁠

5. Go-to-Market 🚀⁠

Disclaimer: As mentioned in the intro, there is no exact formula to build a successful product; however, staying hyper-lean and flowing through these steps are the best ways to mitigate risk in building a product that people don’t absolutely love according to my own experiences combined with crowdsourced advice from awesome founders and investors who are mostly customer-focused first, product-second.
