Question
With the huge hype surrounding the chatbots, do you think now is the right time to launch a chatbot startup to develop bots for companies? in my region Whatsapp is the number one messaging app, after that comes Facebook, currently the most popular Chatbot platform is Facebook Messenger.
I can get resources and developers and launch within just a few weeks, but it's the matter of validation for me more than launch.
I have validated the ideas with some potential customers, some of them are into it and some are not.
Do you recommend me to take the risk and lead? or I shall wait and launch a little bit late and focus on other things like AI and specific ideas for bots?
Answer
I would focus on who your customers are and where you see a business model developing. Start with something specific and get to market quickly. Test on live accounts and treat the early customers as partners.
