Talking to customers and building what they want is a focus to build the product in the right direction. The question is what should be the focus for traction at an early stage to double down on?
For example, in the early days companies like Digital Ocean, and Twilio have all spend their massive energy doubling down on the content they produced whereas companies like Supabase, and Spinnaker have taken a community approach.
We are at a stage where we are not yet sure what's best suited to focus on and spend our major time and energy.
