Ive been researching idea extraction (finding problems to solve) and it seems everyone is saying to target businesses and business owners. Is this better than directly targeting consumers and asking what their problems are? Should I be asking business owners as well as consumers? I was planning on going door knocking, walking around busy city areas etc asking consumers about their problems as well as focusing on specific consumers such as parents. Would contacting business owners be better or should I focus on both?
