Drip: "Hey, what color is your pee?" Ever notice that some of the best insights come from just?scrappy?customer conversations? (And yes, talking about your pee ??) Last week, I took some of our Columbia College Chicago interns to hangout at the Chicago Marathon Expo, old school guerrilla style. This was the first time Graeme Coté and Samantha C. did some cold soliciting, and they absolutely crushed it! Being a bootstrapped startup forces you to really get creative. When I first launched as Pulse, we didn’t have a big research budget or fancy tools. I literally started by DMing people, hopping on calls, grabbing coffee, and asking real questions. No fluff, no scripts—just honest, natural conversations. And what came out of that? ?? What customers actually care about ?? What we were totally missing ??Real relationships that are still with us years later, through our evolutions It’s easy to get caught up in waiting for “perfect” data or running a polished focus group. But honestly, some of the best feedback comes from just jumping in and talking to people—even in the most informal ways. Lesson learned? Don’t be afraid to get scrappy. Your customers will tell you everything you need to know if you’re willing to?really?listen, including the color of their pee ??. #customerfirst #startups #chicagomarathon #aifounder
