Would Idea Validation
kill your idea?

See where your idea stands before you spend another hour building.
Start the Probe
Can you name 10 real people who have paid for something similar in the last 90 days — not hypothetically, actually paid?
What is your most dangerous competitor actually good at — be specific.
If you removed yourself from the business for 6 months, would it survive?
What is the single most likely reason this idea fails? Be specific.
Could you walk an investor through your unit economics in 3 minutes — from CAC to LTV to payback period — using real numbers?
Where your idea is most exposed
