3. For a Tech/online Startup - Validate with Pre-Revenue Metrics If people wonโ€™t commit time or money upfront, they probably wonโ€™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 overnightโ€”before the product existed. 4. Analyze the Marketโ€”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.

Want funding without MVP- 1. Sell the vision,not the product. 2. Showcase a team so capable. 3. Back it with market signals-data,demand,LOIs. 4. Deliver a clear,persuasive pitch deck.

MVT: Minimum Viable Test Instead of MVP, focus on testing demand fast. โ€ข Whatโ€™s the pain? โ€ข Can I test demand with a simple page, post, or conversation? โ€ข Did anyone take action (sign up, pay, reply)? Build after proof.

Donโ€™t build an MVP - create a landing page with a fake checkout and run some paid or organic marketing If people try to put their credit card info itโ€™s a very strong sign that there is a demand for your product!!!!!
