Extremely important.
@jc_mindverse it seems that networking is a separate stage of work and not the easiest... Thanks Joe!
It strongly depends on the type of business. The further away from B2C, the less important it is.
@aanshakov oh, that's an interesting opinion, thanks! what do you think, for b2b products, when the target audience is software development companies, how much should we focus on building networking in such cases?
@zoia_stetsenko In your case, it is still important. It is not as important at the enterprise level. There, other laws and processes come into effect.
Extremely important to be efficient and be able deliver the products on time and with quality
At least in the very beginning, it's super important. People need to know you exist and sometimes connections and word-of-mouth can draw attention to your startup much faster.
As everyone is saying, super important for the success of your startup but I've realized the importance of having other founders/entrepreneurial people in my network too. Being a solo founder, it's nice to have that network you can tap into and not feel so alone!
Your network can give you an unfair advantage with distribution and visibility when you're trying to get the product to go from 0 to 1.
