1. Start small, focus on a small problem and solve it. 2. Talk to your customers as much as you can. 3. Do a lot of marketing.

Not Understanding the Market, I worked in an Edtech Startup, Right after Covid, Everything was about E- learning, and the market was super inflated. As time Passed, the Bubble burst and we started struggling with conversions and CAC, despite having users loved our product. Understanding the market is super critical.
