> Research should weigh heavily on building your product/ service WITH your customer-PARTNERS
I have often advocated this from a business development perspective. It becomes a free way to elevate your customer to someone driving the iterations rather than a receiver. They are a gold-plated, VIP, so-important-they-make-suggestions- partner. An easy win.

Really astute advice.
All in all a great list - accurate, brief and clear. What is next for you?
Thanks, ZenPro. Tried to make it concise, even though it ballooned to a list of 21.
The Next Move is a tough one. I'm trying to stay in the startup game. I'm not tired of peanut butter sandwiches yet. If I don't start another startup, then I'd love to help another early stage tech startup with business development (sales, marketing, the works).
I've learned a lot, and I'm eager to apply the lessons with others. Know of any early startups who I can help?

I am in London unfortunately, not the USA otherwise I would invite you along to our co-working space to cast your net.
Yeah, I saw that on your profile. Figured I'd ask anyhow! Thanks, ZenPro!
