When starting new businesses, most entrepreneurs ask their family and friends for feedback on their latest idea. This kind of feedback may be biased and in some cases, the family members and friends may grow tired of continuously providing feedback.

Justin Chen and his business partner faced the same problem when they were working on a project that needed another set of eyes. Since they both had backgrounds in computer science and engineering, they decided to build their own platform to collect feedback from the public.

Justin Chen, the Co-Founder of PickFu, joins Rich Goldstein in this week's episode of Innovations and Breakthroughs to chat about validating new product ideas and getting specific actionable feedback. Justin talks about building a feedback platform with his business partner, growing the PickFu business, and the most common ways clients use the platform.
