We’re winding down Frameboard 🖼🛹✌

Here’s a thread of our journey, mistakes, lessons, and everything in between—hoping it helps others building in crypto.

If you went back to the start, knowing what you know now, how would you have pressure tested more whether it was “a solution in search of a problem”?

So many learnings here I’d love to unpack. 

Here’s two:

4. How would you (or someone) build an experience for one person without a product?

Was there a point where you had a sense it wasn’t going to work and you could have pivoted hard, but decided to push through? If yes, what drove that decision?

Here are a handful of things I would’ve done differently to avoid SISPing:

1. Ask if we or people we know have this problem.
2. Talk to 10-20 crypto creators and people who collect content frequently. 
3. Get feedback from crypto friends and investors before building.
4. If all that above checks out, create a cool experience for a single curator before building a full product.

I think we would've grown skeptical by being honest about 1; struggled to find conviction after 2.A and likely killed it or taken a different path by 3. 

It's easy to say in hindsight, but the truth is we’d been grinding for a few years and desperate to find signs of PMF. In the moment, shipping felt like a faster path to learnings than more research.
