Selecting the Right Tech Stack for Every Stage of your Product Journey

Selecting an Offshore Team for Development – The Risks and Rewards
A major challenge for product teams is how to find quality development partners that align with the goals of the project as well as the budget. In the quest to control costs, the option of using offshore vendors is often considered. It’s a huge decision point, and one that needs to be carefully considered before jumping on that bandwagon. Make the wrong decision, and you can delay or even kill a product. For startups with a single product, that can spell disaster and potentially sink the company.

Planning & Communicating Future Features
Every tech company has to deal with the orderly and inevitable evolution of their product, and it’s not an easy task. Do it right, and your product has increasing value over time. Do it wrong, and you can stunt your growth, or even potentially kill your product entirely.

Transforming Launches into Campaigns: Maximizing Your Product's Impact
In the dynamic landscape of digital product development, the traditional concept of a product launch as a one-time event is increasingly being challenged. At Parux, we understand that a successful product launch is not just about introducing a new offering to the market; it's about creating a sustained momentum that drives awareness, engagement, and ultimately, conversions. This is where transforming launches into campaigns becomes pivotal.

Project Cost, Timelines & Estimates
Product teams and founders are always looking for the answer to this question: How long will it take, and how much will it cost? It’s not an unreasonable question, and of course the budget and your runway must be managed properly. But how to do that the right way is complicated, and we’ll explore those intricacies and common mistakes in this blog post.

The Value of True Customer Discovery
Many startups rush customer discovery, bypassing crucial steps in their zeal to find Product / Market fit—a concept by Mark Andreessen that seems simple yet is often misapplied. This post emphasizes the importance of genuine customer discovery and iterative development to avoid the Solution Fixation Trap. By deeply engaging with users and continuously refining the product based on feedback, companies can significantly reduce risks and costs, enhancing their chances of success. This discussion highlights the need for an ongoing commitment to customer engagement to maintain a product's market relevance.

Finding Your Niche
A niche market is a segment of a larger market that has unique characteristics such as shared interests, values and needs. A lot of people equate a niche market as a small market, and some of that is true. By definition, it is a segment of a larger market.

Manifesting Your Startup – Part 1 – Homework
Going from idea to pulling the trigger and launching your company consists of a series of Go / No-Go decisions. At every stage, you must give yourself a chance to say no, because if you don’t, then it’s an indication that you have fallen in love with your solution instead of falling in love with the problem.
