Savvy entrepreneurs start testing their ideas on potential customers even before the concept is fully cooked. I still hear too many excuses for not working early on the elevator pitch, like wanting to fly under the radar, don’t have the team together yet, or can’t afford an agency.

But, I’m trying to paint a picture of what channels are too competitive to get attention in and which channels have opportunities.
