The article discusses the importance of accurately identifying and understanding one's target audience when launching a startup. The author shares personal experiences of misjudging the audience for their own startup, Hugimals World, and how they were able to turn it around by recognizing that a significant portion of their customers were adults seeking comfort for anxiety. The article also includes examples of other founders who pivoted after misjudging their initial audience and found success by broadening their target market. The key takeaway is to never underestimate the potential reach of a product and to continuously listen to customers and adapt as necessary. [Extracted from the article]

Justine Tiu and Adrian Zhang launched their crochet-kit business, The Woobles, in 2020, targeting a newly homebound population looking for easy crafting activities during the pandemic. Tiu, with a background in education UX design, perfected their kits by observing real people using them and making adjustments to remove barriers to entry. The couple, who previously had high-paying jobs, decided to pursue entrepreneurship and found success with The Woobles. They have since expanded their product line, taught half a million people how to crochet, and secured licensing deals with popular brands.

Despite their growth, The Woobles remains a small team of remote workers. [Extracted from the article]
