Should I launch or wait?

Should I launch or wait?

I'm not sure if I'm in a unique situation or not but I can't decide whether now is the right time to launch my product or if I should wait. There are three major things that are telling me I need to wait but everything in my mind is telling me to go full throttle. Here's a little background on why I'm thinking of waiting:

• I'm a solo, non-technical founder and self-funded my MVP which will be complete within the next week
  • not having a tech co-founder makes me nervous that one little bump in the road is going to ruin any traction
• My startup is in the travel industry and now is obviously a terrible time for travel
• This wouldn't be my full time job and, because I'm a solo founder and my industry is collapsing, I feel this will require 100% attention

Why do I want to go hard right now?

• I have a solution to a major pre-covid problem and I think it's a prime opportunity to get people to try new things as they can't be complacent right now
• My competition is laying off hundreds or thousands of employees
• I think I can get by with an MVP for a reasonable amount of time since the travel industry isn't really at the forefront of technology anyway

I'm looking for insights and opinions or if anyone is going through something similar and how they're handling it.

​

Thanks!
