Funny thing is that what my MBA brain first thought about checking the market about its true needs and willingness to pay before even trying to design the product, but at that moment you had what Eric Raymond called “the itch-to-scratch solution model”: you had an itch (and you knew you weren’t the only one) and your solution aimed to scratch it for yourself would also scratch it for everyone else 😹

That’s the best way to come up with a product or service!

Nice story!

Yes, exactly true. “Solve your own problem” is a good place to start. Thanks for reading Alfredo

Loved reading this story. Did it increase your pizza consumption? I could have seen a strong partnership by getting data from the pizza place on hard to deliver spots to find your targets.
