Description

Startup founders and product developers often struggle to get access to decision-makers within large companies to validate their products or features. This lack of access can lead to building products that do not meet market needs, resulting in wasted resources and time.

Consequences

Without proper validation, products may fail to gain traction in the market, leading to financial losses and missed opportunities.

Anyone want access to decision-makers to validate a product or next feature?
redditby plaitv• 2 days ago• 5 points

I work in a large global consulting firm, so I know a lot of people inside large companies who actually understand how teams buy, approve, reject, and use products. Real operators, managers, decision-makers and senior execs. Not random people giving surface-level opinions. I’m curious whether anyone wants access to people like that to validate a product, pressure test a feature, or get real input before building too much. Most are not going to do that for free, which is fair, but I think many would do it for $50 to $100 an hour if the conversation was focused and useful. You probably do not need hours and hours from someone like this. A short, sharp conversation is often enough. But their time is valuable, and they are not going to do it for free. Also, these folks will unlikely become your next customer, but will mainly provide you their expertise (and maybe an with intro if they like what you're doing).
