โ๏ธ Readily-available product
โ๏ธ Paying customers
โ๏ธ Solving a real-world problem that amounts to a multibillion dollar unmet need
๐กAnd most importantly, are we at risk that our solution is another unsubstantiated “AI Hype”, that goes up in smoke as soon as the market reality hits? Not in my opinion. We address a well-defined problem in one specific vertical with deep domain knowledge.
Now we have to invest in marketing & sales to reach the thousands of potential customers and fast-track our commercialization.
