That Time the Insurance Algorithms Creeped Me Out
That Time the Insurance Algorithms Creeped Me Out

What are the best ways to validate your business idea without a prototype?
As a world-renowned maker of youth sports cards, I started with some very humble beginnings: youth interviews. It was always a bit awkward to say to a kid "hey, kid, do you want a baseball card of yourself?" Sometimes they would run screaming, other times they would start crying and freeze. But for those rare interviews where a kid was not totally freaked out by me, I got some great user feedback. For example, kids were very meh on NFTs as a collectible (what is wrong with today's youth?). But kids absolutely loved anime and laser eye cards. So, in short, if you want to make something, interview your users. But try not to come across as a creepy stranger danger to them. If you can figure that out, you are half way there.
