867 Audience First, Product Second: Chris on Navigating the Modern Startup Landscape

<p>Show site: https://thinkfuture.com</p> <p>Breaking News In AI: https://aidaily.us</p> <p>---</p> <p>In this episode, Chris delves into the paradigm shift in the startup world, emphasizing the significance of building an audience before crafting a product. Drawing upon the &#39;pop socket story&#39; as an archetype, he observes that most startup founders identify a personal problem, craft a solution, and then promote it. However, he believes that in the clamorous world of 2023, without an established audience to present your product to, a startup might as well be invisible. While acknowledging the risks of idea theft when broadcasting a solution before its fruition, Chris underscores that having an established audience is the real power. He contends that in today&#39;s world, building a receptive audience is more challenging than creating a product, but it&#39;s crucial for success.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thinkfuture/support</a>
