I just burned \~3 months building a SaaS product that basically no one is using. Not blaming the market this one’s on me. I went all in on building before validating properly. I convinced myself I “understood the problem” because I had seen it before, but I never actually talked to potential users in depth. By the time I launched, I realized a few things: * The problem wasn’t painful enough for people to pay * My positioning was too vague * I built way more features than anyone needed The hardest part is that the product *works just fine*. It’s just not something people care enough about. Right now I’m debating whether to: 1. Pivot and try to reposition it 2. Strip it down and go super niche 3. Kill it and start over (probably the smartest move) For those of you who’ve been here before how do you decide when to pivot vs walk away? Also, what are your best ways to validate whether or not an idea is worth chasing? Would appreciate any honest takes.
