Most founders spend months building in silence. Joel Gascoigne, founder of Buffer, didnโ€™t. He had a simple idea: schedule social media posts. Instead of coding, he launched a two-page site: โ€“ Page 1 explained the idea โ€“ Page 2 had a โ€œPlans & Pricingโ€ button Behind it? Just a message: โ€œYou caught us before weโ€™re ready.โ€ That $60 test proved demand before a single line of code. People clicked. People signed up. And that was enough validation to keep going. Today, Buffer serves millions and earns tens of millions annually. Lesson? Donโ€™t build first and hope customers come. Validate demand before you invest. Iโ€™ve put together a guide: 10 Proven Methods to Validate a Startup Idea in 2025โ€”including the exact tactic Buffer used and more. ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://thestartupgenic.com/10-proven-methods-to-validate-a-startup-idea/
