Dati kasi, basta may pumasok na ideya sa isip ko, diretso na akong gumagastos para subukan, kaya madalas sayang lang ang pera. Sa kursong ito, natutunan ko kung paano talaga i-validate ang isang business idea bago maglabas ng kahit isang piso. Sobrang praktikal ng mga paraan para subukin ang demand sa market, tulad ng simpleng survey at pakikipag-usap sa target customers. Gusto ko rin yung parte na tinuturuan ka kung paano basahin ang tunay na interes ng tao, hindi lang yung pa-pogi nilang sagot. Malaking tipid ito sa oras at budget, kaya todo rekomenda ko ito.

Avevo un'idea che mi sembrava geniale e stavo per investirci tempo e risparmi senza nessuna verifica. Questo corso mi ha insegnato a testare prima la domanda reale del mercato con metodi semplici e poco costosi. Le tecniche per intervistare potenziali clienti e leggere i segnali veri sono state illuminanti. Mi sarebbe piaciuto qualche caso studio in più, magari su servizi e non solo prodotti. Detto questo, mi ha risparmiato un errore costoso e lo consiglio a chiunque parta da zero.

돈 쓰기 전에 아이디어를 검증하는 방법을 배워서 좋았어요, 다만 사례가 조금 더 많았으면 합니다.
