2:34 PM
Great question! For a product idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:
- Customer interviews: Talk to Technical to understand their pain points
- MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
- Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps
Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your high difficulty idea?
2:35 PM
Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?
2:36 PM
Based on your idea's complexity and 6-12 months, here's my recommendation:
Technical Strategy:
- Start with no-code tools for rapid prototyping
- Consider your technical background and available > $10,000
- Plan for scalability from day one
I can help you create a detailed technical roadmap and resource allocation plan...

Running Shoe Customization App
During the discussion, Todd highlights the increasing customization options in running shoes, which can lead to a diverse array of products catering to different runner needs. This opens up an opportunity for entrepreneurs to develop a mobile app that allows users to customize their running shoes based on personal preferences, foot shape, running style, and intended use (e.g., racing, training, trail running). The app could utilize augmented reality to visualize how different shoe modifications would look. Target customers would be avid runners and fitness enthusiasts who desire personalized gear. Monetization strategies could include partnerships with shoe manufacturers, in-app purchases for premium customization options, and community forums for users to share their designs and experiences.
