Ask HN: Marketing and validating side project when already in a job?
A friend and I are working on a project. We both have full time jobs at the same (large) company. The plan is that if the idea is validated and gets some traction, we will leave our jobs and work full time on it.<p>We are targeting enterprise market and I am struggling on how to market and validate the idea without letting our current employer know. We cannot even list our names on our web site. Same fear with reaching out to people we know but don&#x27;t completely &#x27;trust&#x27; or other random people in our target markets.<p>Am I overthinking it? Did anyone had a similar situation? How would you recommend we handle it?
