• I co-founded a start-up called Weave, that had a nice product on human body visualisations and virtual trial rooms for fashion e-commerce. We also wanted to work with marginalised weavers of our country. We got a few clients, and garnered interest from investors but really could not crack product-market fit or unit economics, and realised that we had overlooked fundamental flaws in our strategies. In retrospect, we made the classic mistake of running after products without going through customer development.
• On the upside, I am now a Steve Blank evangelist, and I don't think anything could have taught me more about building a business, technology and life than a failed start-up.
