Finding a promising Reddit complaint is exciting, but interviews are where raw opportunity turns into real founder understanding. The goal is not to confirm your idea. It is to understand the buyer deeply enough to sharpen the idea.
Start with the buyer context, not your solution
Ask about the workflow, trigger moments, and current workaround before you mention product concepts. The first interview job is to understand the problem structure.
Pull apart the cost of the current workaround
Hidden costs create pricing headroom. Time, stress, error risk, staff coordination, and compliance exposure all matter when buyers decide whether to adopt new tools.
Use interviews to sharpen the wedge
The best insight is often not “yes, build this.” It is “this sub-problem matters much more than the one you started with.” Interviews help you shrink scope in the right direction.
End with a concrete follow-up
Ask whether the buyer would review a landing page, join a pilot, pay for early access, or introduce you to someone else with the same problem. Action is stronger than praise.
