Highlights
If you're starting a company, take customer interviews EXTREMELY seriously.
This was prob the main thing we did well when starting @braintrustdata. Key things are:
- Research as much as possible to avoid wasting time on basic context
- Come with specific ideas. "What do you think of X?" vs. "what should we build? Tell me everything you've looked at?"
- Offer something: a demo, early access to a product, insights about the space
