    For an early-stage startup, design is secondary. It's more important to find a product-market fit

    Because we are rebranding and launching soon, exceptional branding and design are critical for a startup's rebrand, dramatically influencing perception and market placement.

    @prem_saini1 I completely agree with you. Nowadays, good design can make a project stand out greatly, attract many clients and create recognition and reputation. Likewise, bad design can ruin a good project, which many did not believe in due to poor visualization, lack of trust in the brand... By the way, if you need help with rebranding, my team and I can help with that!

    As a designer by heart, I want to say 100% important, but my experience says it's not. As much as I love perfecting a design or finetuning our brand, I know it won't matter if there isn't a Product Market Fit. However, I don't believe it is 0% either. Good design doesn't just mean that it looks good, but also that it works well. And good branding can create trust and make people feel more attached to your solution than a competitor. So, as with most things in life, I would say there needs to be a balance 😅

    Your brand is the first impression you make on a potential customer. Make it count! Good branding and design builds trust, creates memories, shows that you care and triggers certain emotions.
