The Singularity Moment of Your Product

The singularity moment of a product is not
when you write your first line of code or raise your first round of funding, but when you create your first customer.

You go from nothing to creating value.

Every business whether it’s Amazon, or Google, or Facebook started this way — with one before the millions (or billions).

While one might seem too simple to strive for, it’s not.

In order to get one good customer,
you need to get 10 times as many people actively using your product.

In order to get 10 active users,
you need to get 10 times as many people interested in your product.

So to get 1 good customer,
you need to start with at least a 100 people.

Not so easy after all…
