Why Validation Matters

The #1 reason startups fail is "no market need" (42% of failures). Validation is the process of verifying that you are solving a real problem for real people who are willing to pay for it, before you write a single line of code.

Common Validation Mistakes

  • Asking friends and family: They will lie to protect your feelings. (Read "The Mom Test").
  • Confusing interest with commitment: "That sounds cool" is not the same as "Here is my credit card."
  • Building too early: Don't build the solution until you understand the problem deeply.

How to use this tool
