I’m working on a new service aimed at helping entrepreneurs validate their business ideas more effectively. The process involves in-depth customer interviews, thorough market analysis, and comprehensive industry data gathering.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

  1. Would you use a service like this to validate your business idea?
  2. If yes, would you be willing to pay for it?
  3. How much would you consider it worth if the insights provided were super insightful and valuable?

    The intent is sound. There is a problem = founders don’t validate ideas well and don’t know how to do marketing to do so. Generally.

    Arguably, that is the leading cause of failure and why so many startups fail.

    Here’s the rub: Founders need to learn how to do this and have the skill, because it’s a never ending process

    Startups have no money

    So while the intent is based on a very valid problem and solution, I think you’re going to struggle. People have been working on this challenge for at least as long as I’ve been in startups (25 years) and in my perspective, the only thing that will work is :

    1. More VCs and service providers sponsoring incubators so we can teach more founders properly and not pass the cost on to them

    2. Fixing what people think marketing means and does, so founders prioritize

    3. Create a lot more freely available content about how to validate ideas. Flood the internet with it.
