Totally agree 👍🏼

If you’re out of stock at some point, make sure you let everyone know that the product is scarce and they can pre-order today to be among the first to get the product, once it’s back in stock.

I would also suggest to take a look at your pricing strategy.

An interesting one. In my opinion, the key here is a point from Michael Siebel in which he stated that one shouldn't fall in love with the solution, one should fall in love with the problem.

So if you're solving a problem that many people really experience and care enough about to pay you for the solution, you're on the right track. The solution (or an idea) can change and morph as you build your MVP and start talking to your first customers, but you'll still be solving the same important problem.

So the idea, in a sense that it is a solution to a specific problem, might not matter as much as the problem itself. You could have different solutions and different approaches to tackle the same problem. Basically, that is why competition exists and some companies do better than others.

Hey! At the bottom of the comment I provide a couple of links from YC that might help.

Me and my partner are actually working on a product, which is aimed at helping entrepreneurs find and validate real problems that they could solve. And if it's not too much to ask, I was wondering if you could go through our survey, so we could better understand the true need of our potential customers. Your input will be very much appreciated!
