Watch This Before You Start an E-Commerce Brand

In this highlight episode @jungiegumiran breaks down what first-time founders need to know before putting serious money into an e-commerce business. Junjie shares why he always starts with your unfair advantage, whether that’s your skills, experience, network, or access to data, and why understanding your market matters before committing to a product. They also get practical about product validation. For him, real validation happens when customers actually pay. Instead of immediately ordering 10,000 units, he recommends testing with smaller quantities, learning how the market responds, and using those early sales to decide when it’s time to scale.
