The Tool Born from Necessity, Not Market Research - Wempily
Wempily wasn't born from market research. It wasn't built to fill a gap investors identified. It wasn't created because we saw an opportunity.
It was built because we needed it.
The Real Problem
I was managing 12 projects. Drowning in overhead. Spending hours every day updating project management tools instead of building.
I tried every tool available. None of them worked the way I worked. None of them understood that my commits already contained all the information they needed.
I needed something that didn't exist.
The Decision
I had two options:
- •Keep using tools that didn't fit, spending hours on overhead
- •Build what I actually needed
I chose option two.
Not because I wanted to start a company. Not because I saw a market opportunity. Because I needed to solve my problem.
Building for Real Use
When you build for yourself, you build differently:
- •[object Object] - Not theoretical ones
- •[object Object] - Not what looks good in a pitch
- •[object Object] - Not features that sound impressive
- •[object Object] - Not market feedback
You build what you actually need, not what you think others want.
The Unexpected Result
As I used Wempily to manage my own work, something happened: It actually worked.
I stopped spending time on project management. I started shipping faster. I had better visibility into my work than I'd ever had before.
The tool I built for myself solved my problem.
When Others Noticed
People saw what I was accomplishing. They asked how I managed 12 projects. I explained Wempily. They asked if they could use it.
That's when I realized: Maybe this wasn't just my problem.
The Philosophy
The best tools come from real problems, not market research.
When you build to solve your own problem:
- •You understand the problem deeply
- •You know what actually works
- •You prioritize what matters
- •You create something authentic
Market research tells you what people say they want. Real problems tell you what they actually need.
The Lesson
Wempily exists because we needed it. Not because we researched the market. Not because investors saw an opportunity. Because we had a real problem that needed solving.
Sometimes the best products come from necessity, not opportunity.
