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.

    I’d rate thats a great start. Get as much info you can.

    I am excited by this because of your nationality. Not sure what it is, but I am also based outside US/UK and EU markets. Some of these products work great in their markets but are glitchy af in ours and don’t take into account the context of culture.

    I think this is a great idea. Ask stakeholders in your interviews if they are using Airtable. And then ask why or why not.

    This should reveal plenty of painpoints and non negotiables.
