🧩 From Listening to Clarity: Reframing Problems That Matter Last month, our founders set out with deep listening skills to uncover the real story behind customer needs. Today, we completed the circle. 🟠 Armed with rich customer conversations, we worked together to map these insights. The focus was on gaining crucial perspectives that can make all the difference. 🧨 What emerged was fascinating:  - The subtle tensions between progress and resistance in B2B decisions  - How slight reframing of problem statements opened entirely new solution spaces  - The power of understanding what customers are truly "hiring" your solution to do 🌟 Most valuable moment? 👀 Watching founders gain the clarity to either confidently double-down on their existing direction or pivot toward more compelling opportunities – both paths fueled by genuine customer insight rather than assumptions. - it's about seeing the existing one through a sharper lens. 🔍 To fellow builders and mentors: How have you seen small shifts in problem framing create outsized results? 🤩 Fun fact: It was really hard to take a 'fun' shot with engineers and technical innovators! #VentureBuilding #JobsToBeDone #deeptech #ProblemDefinition Chew Lam (CL) Goh Peter Tan CHEN Zhi Ph.D Leong Y.

Can't wait to see what's in-store for RosCon 2025 in Singapore from Oct 27th- 29th!

🔍 Beyond Surface Problems: The Art of Deep Listening Recently, we equipped deep tech founders and advisors with a critical skill that's often overlooked: how to uncover the real problems worth solving. Because the most valuable insights💡don't come from assumptions - they emerge when we: - Look beyond the first "yes" or "no" - Understand the story behind each decision - Listen for the unsaid problems Now our founders are taking these skills into the field, having conversations that go deeper than feature requests and surface needs. To founders out there: How many customer conversations did it take before your problem definition shifted? #DeepTech #CustomerDiscovery #StartupInsights #BlueInCube #problemdefinition Peter Tan Chew Lam (CL) Goh Leong Y.

🎯 Deep Tech Founders: The Reality Checks No One Talks About Ever notice how deep tech success stories skip over the messiest, most crucial parts? ⏰ "Too early" - Revolutionary tech, but market wasn't ready ❌ "Wrong problem" - Built amazing tech for the wrong use case   🙈 "Blind spot" - Customers saw the problem differently |↔| "Gap" - Investors didn't see what you saw 💬 Got a different reality check? Share in the comments. Let's have the conversation that usually happens behind closed doors. Your story might help another founder avoid the same pitfalls. #DeepTech #StartupLife #VentureBuilding #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #FounderLessons Chew Lam (CL) Goh Peter Tan Chee Bin Tay Cynthia Mak
