Hi there, 

People love to "play founder.”

• Lemme do some market research

• Lemme figure out the biz model

• What's the moat?

• Who are competitors in "the space"?

This is all intellectual m^sturbation.

Empty but feels satisfying.

Bias to action is so rare (cuz it takes real work).

Here's an example.

A month ago, I was on the My First Million Pod, and I shared a startup idea on B2B pricing data.

17 people reached out about it.

16 to pick my brain (or ask questions about how I would approach X and Y).

1 went and got pricing of CB Insights competitors, DM'd me that he had pricing on A, B, and C, and shared that with me.

We chatted this past weekend.

A bias to action is a wonderful thing. And so so rare.
 

And now onto business…

Got insights?

Do you like $$?
 

Do you evaluate/buy software?

If you answered yes to both of these questions…

You should join 1000s of other software buyers and get paid for your insights on software vendors you've evaluated.

Take 1 minute to see if you qualify.
