Okay hold on, but belief doesn't pay developer salaries or server bills. You think you can get 100 screaming users for a complex, scalable product without significant upfront capital? In most competitive markets, while you're busy "validating pain" , someone else with VC money is already building out a full team, acquiring users aggressively and eating your lunch. Building signal itself costs money and time that many truly disruptive ideas just don't have before they need serious backing.

Most early-stage founders don’t need a VC. They need this. You actually need 100 users who’d scream if your product disappeared. So for all idea-stage founders: 👉 Validate the pain first. 👉 Then validate your insight. 👉 Then test your way to 10
