Ask HN: How do you ask users about their pain point?
I'm interested in the healthcare/medical space and trying to find a worthy problem to work on. I'm applying the YC method of asking as many doctors as possible what their pain point is. It's not going well. Just scraping LinkedIn and trying to make connections, I'm getting a 25% connection rate and a 1% interview rate. My message is super concise and trying to be as non-salesy as possible. I'm pretty clear I'm just looking to learn/listen and not pitch. BTW I'm also looking into other avenues than LinkedIn, just not 100% sure what that may be. So, startup folks, how did you manage to land these early discovery interviews? Especially those in the healthcare sector. 19 comments on Hacker News.
