I'm in Situationship with My Startup
(ycombinator.com)
I love building product as soon as I stumble upon an interesting idea.<p>My idea was to come up with icebreakers based on person's profile. I built this tool: getdatahawk.ai without any customer calls<p>I have around 150 users, none paying & almost no daily active users. 2/150 people agreed to jump on customer call.<p>I am wondering if this is a big enough problem for people to care about or should I move on. How do I decide?

I'm 22 now and the most productive age is slipping out of hand.
