Learnings from Kevin Hale and Michael Kimollo Co- Founder Soka App, Startup which provides information about Tanzania football league.
Day 3 of Buni Hub Entrepreneurship Bootcamp started by listening to the talk by Kevin Hale on "How to build products that users love". Understanding the need of the users and customers is crucial in building a great products. We reflected on the role of the co-founder on building an emotional connection between their products and users. Constantly getting customer feedback while developing your product is a necessity. You are the marriage counselor of your product and your customers.
The challenge facing most of the African products is going live with unfinished "raw" products, although there was a lot of discussion on how to balance between releasing the Beta version of your product, it was not very clear when is the right time for you to go out with your product? We all agree it is critical for your product to have a good first impression.
You want occasionally to ignite users conversation about your products by releasing a new innovative feature or by coming up with a strategy to promote user engagement with the current features of your product.
If you don't understand your product don't expect users to understand it @micka_mwamba @soka_app @brompo @BasilMalaki pic.twitter.com/WjV0SoCI5q
