How to Create Products People Love

Building a product that people like is hard, and building a product that people love is even harder. Last week I recorded the webinar above with two of our excellent Founder Institute New York mentors: Patrick Schoonveld and Alberto Escalarte!

Through the video both Patrick and Alberto discuss how to better understand, discover and interpret customer pain points. Along with how to use those insights to inform your product development. They also answered several questions from the audience by suggesting many tools, software, and tips to help you think about how you are building your product today. Click play on the video above to watch now.
