What if the Product Fails?

Where the rubber meets the road, and sometimes, it seems, goes flat. Picture this: You've burnt the midnight oil, danced with deadlines, & kept the bills at bay with a hopeful eye on the product's success. Yet, what if, after the grand launch and the anticipation, it turns out our brainchild falls flat on its face? What's Plan B, or even Plan C? Share your experiences, your "oh no, what now" moments.

Learning from failure is an opportunity for growth and iteration towards a better solution or refining the product idea.

Absolutely, @shoaib_iqbal3 moral of the story, learn from failure. It's like watching a thriller unfold in real life! In such scenarios, the immediate next steps are like a survival dance—what do you do when the spotlight turns harsh? The reasons for failure can be as diverse as a Bollywood plot—product glitches, quality woes, betrayal by co-founders, or even the tiniest gimmick by angel investors. It's a minefield out there! Focusing on building products for the youth is fantastic, but the shadow of potential career ruin due to financial woes is a haunting thought. So, what's the playbook for these moments?

Even failure is a type of feedback. Either you’re not solving a problem, or the product doesn’t meet the demands.
