Problem fit
Hear whether users recognise the problem you're solving.
Validate your product with real users before you scale
Put an idea, prototype or MVP in front of the people you're building for. Find out whether it solves a real problem — and what to change — before you invest further.
What is product validation?
Product validation is testing an idea, prototype or MVP with real target users before investing more, to check that it solves a real problem and that people would use it. It reduces the risk of building features nobody wants.

FAQ
Product Validation: frequently asked questions
What is product validation?
Product validation is testing an idea, prototype or MVP with real target users before investing more, to check that it solves a real problem and that people would use it. It reduces the risk of building features nobody wants.
Can I validate an idea before I build anything?
Yes. Concept descriptions, mockups and landing pages can all be tested for interest and understanding.
Is product validation the same as a survey?
It often includes survey questions, but also hands-on reactions to prototypes or builds and comparisons between options.
Will feedback tell me whether my product will succeed?
No research can guarantee success. Validation reduces risk by showing how real users react before you invest more.
Can I test with a specific country or industry?
Yes, subject to tester availability. Narrow audiences may take longer to fill.
