Iterative Ventures’ Post

We want to thank Product Leader and Zing Data founder Zack Hendlin for speaking with our incubator on Figuring out what to build & and finding product market fit! In the workshop, Zack Hendlin shared extremely valuable insights on ways to build conviction as well as a systemic process to validate ideas with various questions to ask such as: - Is X a problem for you? - Why is X a problem for you? - What would it mean to you if you could solve this? - How urgent is the priority? etc. Oftentimes in conducting user interviews, especially for folks who are doing this for the first time, founders may mistake "good vibes" and "feel good" responses as validation. Good vibes are good, but it's a long way out from monetization and actually creating a business. In sharing his experience, Zack Hendlin related to his experience in taking up Zing Data through meetings with executives who wanted to have data ready at their fingertips to roll out to customers who are not in front of their computers and in need of real-time and quick data. Be like Zack Hendlin who is relentless in figuring out customer needs and tirelessly executes to deliver. Keep iterating. And as always, we’d love to thank our sponsor Jonathan Chan and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati for hosting us! #startup #pmf #entrepreneurship #product
