I saw a real problem, built a solution, and even created a working prototype. Then I did what every early founder does sent emails to people in the relevant industries to validate the product, get guidance, and maybe find support to build the MVP. The outcome? Zero replies. So now I’m asking out of curiosity, not frustration: What am I missing or doing wrong? Is it that cold emails rarely work without social proof? Is it because I’m building alone? Is my approach too early, or too direct? Or is this just the normal “invisible phase” every founder passes through before the breakthrough? I’m not discouraged—I just want to learn. If you’ve been through this stage or mentor founders, I’d genuinely value your insight. What should I focus on next? What am I missing?
