Products that do what Valideate – validate your ideas before spending more time and money does
Hi Hacker News! My name is Marcel, and I created Valideate.com Valideate is a quick way to validate your ideas so you can determine whether or not they are worth pursuing further. How does it work? 1. You can post your rough idea on Valideate for free, but it costs 1 point. 2. To earn 1 point, you have to vote on 5 other ideas. 3. That's it! Right now, anyone who registers will instantly earn 5 points, so you can validate 5 ideas immediately. I created this because I wanted a quick way to pulse check my own ideas, and I hope it solves your problem too. If you have questions or feedback, I'll…

Hi HN! I made a really quick web app to help people validate their ideas. The app is a simple landing page builder, but every page includes a really simple Yes/No "Are You Interested?" poll. Every vote is recorded and tracked, and if they click yes they are brought to a page where they can submit an email. This makes validating ideas super easy because you can post your link to different communities and get statistically significant results as well as build an email list. Given an hour, you could easily create 50 different landing pages and be able to validate your ideas in bulk. The…

http://www.upboat.us Demo: http://www.upboat.us/idea/upboat Screenshot of logged-in view: http://i.imgur.com/vUZXfZc.png Upboat is an idea validation platform, somewhere inbetween Kickstarter and LaunchRock. If the idea you pitch receives over 200* "upboat"s (consented would-be users) within one week, you get the whole emailing list of all those who upboat'd it. If not, you get nothing. This is helpful for those who have ideas for side-projects, but lack the strong-enough incentive to get to work and just hack something together. Should you put up…

I started a newsletter sending out daily startup ideas. After a year, I transitioned to weekly ideas with more in-depth details. I recently posted all of them to the website and made them searchable. Check it out and let me know what you think. By providing more than just an idea, my hope is to help someone start their next business. https://www.startupsfromthebottom.com/

I'm tired of seeing founders building stuff for months and years that nobody would ever pay for. They just don't see it, like most other founders learn to do. Business validation = making money, and nothing else really. If you really wanna make money this year, I can help you do it.

I built a tool (https://1mil.app/hn) to help me test my intuition about various weird business ideas that were on my mind. Initially, I wanted to create a database with 1 million business ideas (hence the name - "1 million opportunities"). But turned out to be a dumb idea already. So instead I built this tool that returns only 10 ideas. It's all based on your input, market + your background. The first release scored on demand only and it gave false confidence. So I rebuilt the the scoring around "winnability": can a solo founder with a specific background "win" against what…

I am a non-hacker "idea guy" with zero discernible talent. Like most, the story starts with me doing things the hard way. I dreamt of a tool that would save me countless hours. Like most of my ideas, it was supposed to die in a couple of hours, but this one had some legs.... "If I needed this, surely others did too" kept looping in my head. Could I get this built? Could I build it myself? Nah...too lazy to learn how, but before I did anything, I had to promise myself one thing: No more ideas! If ideas were sit-ups, I would have a six pack instead of this tire. It was a constant mental…
