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.
Why not do analysis or talk to CEOs at some of these large companies and see what they actually need? Airtable is no small feat even for a well oiled machine… and (making an assumption here) you have no specific use cases to build it around so you’re shooting in the dark.
Are you a solo dev or are you building a team? Honestly, if I were to build something as big as Airtable today, I’d be doing so with ChatGPT integration so I could write a user story and produce a workflow. To pull that off, you need a good visionary on your team who isn’t afraid to break all the rules and pull off something astounding.
