Stop Building Products Nobody Wants: The Validation Method That Works
4 by Taikhoom10 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, Recently I have been working on a couple startups in SF. And I have noticed talking to a lot of founders, since my target users are early stage founders, that they are hyper focused on building. Often they come up with a idea they think is great and can't stop thinking about it and just shoot out to build it. Often they might go months on long just straight building. And while building is extremely important, and being so passionate about is great. I have come to realize they often end up not really validating anything. So after a lot of testing and validation, and reading the "Mom test" of course, I think I know the best way to validate. Before you build anything, have a clear way to define what you are building, whip up a quick landing page and get people to pay. Show them demos, and really get the landing page in front of them. If people will pay before even building something, that is a great sign for you to go ahead and build as well a to investors. So yeah, I just wanted to put that out there, if anyone has anything to say let me know.
