Idea Validation Framework

Validate your business idea or product with our proven framework. Stop failing.

How it works

1

Specify ICP

An Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) defines your perfect target customer. Start narrow and specific — e.g. "CMO of a Series A Fintech european startup" not just "startups".

2

Define Value Props

Map what your customer wants to achieve against what your product delivers. Keep each pair tight and specific — one want, one concrete outcome.

3

Summarize Message

Condense your ICP and value props into a single elevator pitch. This sentence guides all your marketing, sales, and outreach messaging.

4

Build Experiments

Design small, fast, cheap tests for each ICP. Think landing pages, cold outreach, or pre-sales. One experiment per ICP, one clear success metric.

Try it Yourself

Name you Idea, map your potential ICPs (ideal customer profiles), define specific value propositions for each one, craft elevator pitches to use as starting point and come up with experiments to validate your assumptions and collect real world market data to help you validate the opportunity.
