It sucks when you’ve got a new product idea and your customer research proves that your assumptions were wrong and no one really wants your product.

It sucks way more when you don’t do any research and spend months (or years) building the wrong thing.

Fun fact: @buffer has generated over $50m in total revenue (since late 2010).

What I find even more interesting, is to contrast that number with the funding we've raised: $4m.

I'm grateful for our investors, they helped us a lot. But we'd be nowhere without our customers.
