Filter Signals Non-Technical Founders Keep Ignoring
Five signals non-technical founders rationalize away.
Signal: "My Network Will Buy"
They will not. Demand written paid-pilot offers.
Signal: Reachability Is "They Are on LinkedIn"
That is presence, not reach. Score by warm meetings booked this month.
Signal: "My Co-Founder Loves It"
Not a buyer. Your co-founder is biased. Find a non-co-founder reviewer.
Signal: Adjacent Spend Is Zero
You are educating a market. Strong signal to kill or postpone.
Signal: You Re-Filter Every Few Days
That is procrastination. Pick. Run conversations. Then re-filter only after data.
