What I learned from using a Typeform survey to build my company

Using a survey to confirm a problem, measure the desire to solve it, and learn what features potential users valued most.

Author’s note: At the end of this letter is a list of areas I need help in if you’re able to.

Today I’m going to share all that I learned from using a Typeform survey to build my company, organized into the following three sections:

  • Results
  • Learnings
  • Theses

The Celi survey received 323 unique responses. In the two weeks since concluding the distribution of the survey, I’ve had 73 follow-up conversations via email, phone, and google meet, with participants to further understand their responses, uncover product opportunities, and further avoid any self-deception. Each time, continuing to seek dissent, invite challenges, and risk the death of Celi. I’m grateful to those who accepted the invitation.

It’s my hope that how I am building Celi, with epistemic humility, can be admired or at least appreciated.

Ok, onto the results.
