It's a bad sign if your company is 50% product people and you can't establish product-market fit, especially with a "whale" for a competitor.
I guess it wouldn't be unheard of for a conglomerate like LVMH to acquire, but I'm not sure there's enough traction to justify a scenario like that.

They're open to hearing a lot of ideas, but the conversations quickly fell apart at realizing quite how early-stage we were— they generally want validation in the form of success in integrating your product with other fashion companies.
From what we learned, fashion is notoriously behind in tech, and it's a slow climb up the chain if you're B2B.
But seriously. That...feels true. But rather than waiting for things to happen to me, what happens if I go out and expose myself to more events where the dice of fate can be rolled for an outcome in my favor (or against)? Am I manipulating luck that way?
