Why Validation Matters
Most startups fail because they build something nobody wants. Don't become a statistic.
Startups Fail
The vast majority of new businesses fail, often because they built something nobody wanted to buy.
No Market Need

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I validate my business idea?
Idea validation helps you avoid wasting time and money on ideas that will not work. Statistics show that over 90% of startups fail, often because they build something nobody wants. Validating your idea early helps identify fatal flaws, refine your approach, and increase your chances of success before you invest significant resources.
How does the AI idea validator work?
Our AI-powered validator analyzes your business idea across multiple dimensions: problem-solution fit, market potential, competitive landscape, business model viability, and founder-idea fit. It provides honest, constructive feedback including a viability score, key strengths and weaknesses, and actionable recommendations.
Is this idea validation tool really free?
Yes, this tool is completely free with no hidden costs, no usage limits, and no sign-up required. We believe every entrepreneur deserves honest feedback on their ideas before investing their time and savings. Validate as many ideas as you need.
How accurate is the AI validation?
The AI provides a thorough analysis based on business fundamentals and patterns from successful and failed ventures. However, it cannot replace real-world testing with actual customers. Use it as a starting point to identify potential issues and areas for further research, not as a definitive verdict.
What if my idea gets a low score?
A low score does not mean you should give up - it means there are areas to improve. Pay attention to the specific weaknesses identified and the recommendations provided. Many successful businesses pivoted or refined their initial ideas based on early feedback. Use the insights to strengthen your concept.
What makes a business idea viable?
A viable business idea typically has: a clear and painful problem it solves, a defined target audience willing to pay, a solution that is better than existing alternatives, a sustainable business model with healthy unit economics, and a founder with relevant skills or ability to acquire them. Our validator assesses each of these dimensions.
How do I validate my idea with real customers?
After using this tool, validate with real customers by: talking to potential users about their problems (not your solution), creating a landing page to gauge interest, running small ads to test messaging, offering pre-sales or waitlists, building a minimum viable product (MVP), and collecting feedback iteratively. Our validator suggests specific experiments for your idea.
Should I share my idea or keep it secret?
Sharing your idea with potential customers, mentors, and advisors is generally more valuable than keeping it secret. Execution matters far more than the idea itself, and feedback is essential for improvement. Most successful founders talked to hundreds of people before launching. Use this tool to prepare for those conversations.
What is the difference between validation and market research?
Validation focuses on testing whether people will actually pay for your solution, while market research gathers information about market size, trends, and demographics. Both are important. Our validator helps with initial validation by analyzing your idea conceptually, but you should follow up with both customer interviews and market research.
How long should idea validation take?
Initial validation (like using this tool) takes minutes, but thorough validation with real customers typically takes 2-4 weeks of focused effort. The key is to validate quickly and cheaply before building anything. Spend time talking to potential customers, not building features nobody wants.
