Okay, I just got investment from the largest and most reputable VC in my country.

As part of the deal, I will have access to around 1000 large companies. Basically VC can just call these companies and have them try/buy my product. So this really is a golden ticket. The VC money I am getting is also a pretty size-able amount.

This is a pre-seed round, my product is still at ideation phase. What I am looking to develop is basically airtable.com competitor, but much easier to use, more geared toward small/medium enterprises and will have more country specific integrations. Basically I have unlimited access to distribution and sales should come easy, given the respect VC has in my country.

Given that I will have immediate access to about 1000 large b2b customers, is airtable like competitor the best course of action? Or is there a better idea I can develop into an MVP? My main goal is to develop the MVP and get to profitability as fast as possible.

    If you have access to a thousand large companies and VC funding, why are you going to Reddit asking if the idea that’s been funded is a good idea? Surely you didn’t get a blank check to do whatever you want, and were funded for an existing idea with a business plan you presented, unless your dad is in charge of it or something.

    Why don’t you ask one of the advisors your VC gave you? Why is your main goal to reach profitability as fast as possible, did your VC advise you to do that?

    This story smells of BS to me.

      This is not BS. I will put it this way. I can just walk into a VC and get funded with any idea, without any MVP or anything. The reason is the respect and connections I have in the country. I used to be a CTO of a large publicly funded company (top 5 in the country). I am like Sam Altman in my country. Like Sam Altman, I can just walk into any VC and get funded with just 1 sentence.

      It’s like I have this huge unfair advantage.

      Dm me I can provide proof, in case you still don’t believe me

      I still wonder though, as you said, why he hasn’t consulted his advisory team? Why Reddit?…
