I built the infrastructure first. Now I’m questioning what I should validate first.

Post original

I have spent most of my time building the operational side of a financial product for Asian users. The product now has multilingual interfaces, multi-chain payment rails, risk controls, audit records, and internal workflows for handling different outcomes. But public user acquisition has not started yet. That creates an uncomfortable founder problem: - The system can work technically, while the user problem may still be poorly understood. Right now, I am trying to decide what should be validated first: Whether users actually prefer USDT-first onboarding Whether multilingual UX meaningfully improves conversion Whether the product explanation is still too complicated Whether the target audience is too broad For founders who built a large part of the product before serious user validation: What was the first signal that convinced you the problem was real, rather than just technically interesting? I’m not posting a link because I’m mainly looking for honest founder feedback.   submitted by   /u/Actual-Ad2198 [link]   [comments]
