How to Be Sure of Your Startup Idea and validate it As a founder, your biggest fear isn’t failure—it’s execution 1.Start with Problem, Not Solution Ask urslf -Does it affect a large enough audience to sustain a business? -Is it urgent (TAM)? Will people pay or say “nice-to-have”? -If competitors exist, what’s missing? Action-Talk to potential customers. Not friends or family but strangers. Family will always praise, strangers will be neutral 2. For Tech/online startups: Run Cheap, Fast Experiments: Build a 1 page website with value proposition. Drive traffic via social ads or cold outreach. If 5–10% of visitors convert (ex:sign up, pre-order), you’ve got early signals 3. Analyze the Market: - Is the market growing? Use tools like Statista, Crunchbase. 4. Trust Your Gut(But Verify with Data) Final Thought: The faster you iterate, the sooner you’ll find product-market fit. Your idea might evolve, and that’s ok. The goal isn’t to be perfect but to succeed. Detailed in Comment

3. For a Tech/online Startup - Validate with Pre-Revenue Metrics If people won’t commit time or money upfront, they probably won’t later. Look for: - Pre-orders or Letters of Intent (LOIs): Can you get commitments (even non-binding)? - Waitlist sign-ups: A high opt-in rate signals demand. -Pilots or partnerships: Partner with a small group of users to test your solution in exchange for feedback. Example:Dropbox validated demand with a simple explainer video that drove 75,000 sign-ups overnight—before the product existed. 4. Analyze the Market—and Your Edge Even if the problem is real, ask: - Is the market growing? Use tools like Statista, Crunchbase, or industry reports. - Who are the power users? Start niche. Calm started as a meditation app for hardcore biohackers before going mainstream.

Detailed Post (1/1) How to Be Sure of Your Startup Idea and validate it As a founder, your biggest fear isn’t failure—it’s execution 1. Start with the Problem, Not the Solution Great startups solve real problems. Ask yourself: - Is the problem widespread? Does it affect a large enough audience to sustain a business? - Is it urgent? Will people pay to solve it now, or is it a “nice-to-have”? - Are existing solutions inadequate? If competitors exist, what’s missing? Action: Talk to potential customers. Not friends or family but strangers. Family will always praise, strangers will be neutral. 2. Run Cheap, Fast Experiments: Build a one-page website explaining your value proposition. Drive traffic via social ads or cold outreach. If 5–10% of visitors convert (e.g., sign up, pre-order), you’ve got early signals.
