Walking into VivaTech 2019 was an immediate inundation of elaborate booths, cutting edge tracks from celebrity entrepreneurs (shoutout to Jack Ma) and the latest innovations from start-ups (9000 of them, to be exact) and large companies. All of this set in motion to provide a venue to discuss and showcase what the next best thing is within the digital industry.

When companies invest their time and money into building a product, they're making a bet that the end result will be genuinely useful to their customers. Are these investments always a gamble? Is there a way to consistently build products that solve real problems for real people? By listening to the needs of users who are unlike us, we can more easily catch the assumptions that have the potential to sink our products.

A jumpbox, often called a 'bastion host', is a server that gives authenticated users an access point from where they can reach internal servers on a private subnet, usually via SSH. To reach a protected server, you would login through the jumpbox and SSH to the protected server you needed access to.

Imagine you’ve built a new and innovative product. This time you did it right: before you started developing anything, you got out of the building and spoke with customers. You really understood their pain points and validated your assumptions. You built an MVP based on your findings and it seems to be working out, people are using it. You’ve confirmed that you have identified a problem worth solving and that people are willing to pay for your solution. Now you’re looking to optimize for growth. What should you build next?
