Roundtable Recap: February 13 – Validation Needs to be with Customers

During this week’s roundtable, we had three really interesting discussions.

MyEra

Up first Anirudh Sharma from Gurgaon, India, pitched MyEra, an e-commerce customization app that already has key customers.

Vizhil Super App

Next Vijay Kumar from Bliedersdorf, Germany, pitched the Vizhil Super App, a concept stage idea.

Justee.ai

Then, Max Zaykov from Shanghai, China, pitched Justee.ai, a LegalTech AI product currently at MVP stage.

Remember, when you think about validation, it HAS to be with CUSTOMERS. Not vendors. Not Investors. Not Friends. Not Family. Not Advisors.
