I will validate your startup idea before you build anything

About this Gig
You have an idea and maybe some capital, but "is this worth building?" is still an open question, and building the wrong thing is the most expensive mistake a founder can make.
I've spent close to a decade working inside early-stage startups, taking products from 0 to 100 across the US, UK, and global markets. Before any roadmap or MVP conversation, I help founders pressure-test the idea itself: who actually has this problem, whether they'll pay for it, and what the smallest real test looks like.
What I'll do:
- Break down your idea into its core assumptions what has to be true for this to work
- Identify your real early customer (not "everyone")
- Assess competitive landscape and what's already solving this, even partially
- Recommend the cheapest, fastest way to test demand before you build
- Flag the biggest risks I'd want answered before spending real money
Best for:
Solopreneurs and founders at the "I have an idea and some capital" stage, before committing to a build.
Not sure if you're at this stage or the MVP stage?
Message me your idea, and I'll tell you honestly which one you need. I'd rather point you to the right gig than sell you the wrong one.
FAQ
I don't have a fully formed idea yet — just a rough concept. Can you still help?
Yes. Rough concepts are actually the best time to validate — before you've committed to a direction. Send me what you have, even if it's a few sentences, and I'll help shape it into testable assumptions.
Will you tell me if my idea is bad?
Yes, honestly. If I see real red flags, I'll tell you before you spend money on the full package — that's the point of this gig. I'd rather save you time than tell you what you want to hear.
Do you build anything, or is this just feedback?
This is a validation deliverable, not a build. You'll get a structured document (scope depends on package) — not code, wireframes, or a working product.
How long does delivery take?
Basic and Standard typically deliver within 5–6 days; Premium (full validation plan) can take 21–25 days depending on how much back-and-forth is needed to clarify your idea.
What do you need from me to get started?
A written description of the idea, who you think the customer is, and any research or assumptions you've already made — even informal notes are fine. The more context you give, the sharper the output.
