Zenefits is top of mind, growing fast and operating all over the U.S., which is incredible because they're only a few years old. All of their HR services are free, like tracking employee PTO, changing 401K contribution amounts etc. etc., but Zenefits also employs a small army of insurance brokers...
Falling in love with their solution, not the customer's problem.
Relentlessly obsess over the problem facing your ideal B2B client and how you will solve that problem for them. I've written hundreds of thousands of words on this topic on my blog: www.shaunnestor.com The highlights are: 1. Know your goals and objectives 2. How how you will measure your perf...

Samples are traditionally 100+ people. Can you get 100 customers? How many customers (users too) do you have participating on the idea? Once you've shared it past friends and family, strangers are interested in what you're doing I believe that is all that is needed for a product/service to be ...
If your goal is a proof of concept, use what you know and don't stress about performance yet. Other options for using a web stack to build native apps include Steroids (native transitions with web views) and React Native. From what you're describing, it doesn't seem like you'll hit any major ch...
Mock role-play with both parties at the same time (remote or in the same building). Schedule an hour session, pay for their time. This is the fastest method. In your question, you mention "often takes several months". I would assume there is a scenario that doesn't take several months. I would ...
