Pro tip: a founder at the Vancouver meetup saved my pitch night with one question
I went to a small startup meetup in Vancouver about 4 months ago and pitched my app to maybe 20 people in the room. I was halfway through my slides when a founder named Priya stopped me and asked who my first 10 customers would actually be. I did not have a real answer, just a vague plan, and the room got quiet. That night I went home and emailed 10 Shopify store owners in Toronto, and 3 of them replied within a day asking about pricing. Now I write down the names before I build anything. Has anyone else had a pitch get picked apart like that and actually come out ahead because of it?
