Not established but focused my time on entrepreneurship during the MBA and recently left consulting to get back the time to start something. It's a risk so plan for it as such: give yourself lots of runway and be frugal, be willing to adapt. Most businesses either don't adapt to meet the market need or run out of start up funding because they weren't frugal.
This. Think of customer personas when developing your product based on the market need.
There are more in depth books, but this is a good list of pro-tips: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2018/03/14/how-to-craft-the-ideal-user-persona-for-your-brand/amp/
Would recommend ensuring you have one or more prospects you are certain you can convert to customers to help with cash flow initially. You CANNOT run out of cash. Growth is difficult. Still figuring that out myself.
If possible, partner with at least one other person who is accomplished/admirable and whose capabilities differ from yours. This increases the business's surface area and reduces the risk of foolish decisions. Next, outperform customer expectations and ask them to support/refer your nascent business. If you want consistent growth, be prepared to consistently prioritize great customer outcomes over some other things that make one's life good/happy. The sacrifices were absolutely worth it for me, and I wish you every success.
