How to Write a Good Idea Pitch for Validation
11-22-24
The better you describe your idea, the more helpful your feedback will be.
At ValidateLens, your idea submission doesn’t have to be perfect — but it should give validators enough to work with.
Here’s how to write a great one.
1. Start With the Problem
What pain point are you solving? Be clear and specific.
"People forget to cancel free trials and get charged without realizing it."
2. Show Your Solution
What are you building (or thinking of building) to solve it?
"An app that tracks free trials and reminds users to cancel before they’re charged."
3. Add Some Context
Have you seen others try this? What makes yours different? What inspired you?
4. Ask a Question
End your pitch with a question for the validator. Example:
“Is this a real enough problem that people would actually download an app to solve it?”
Keep It Short. Keep It Clear.
You don’t need a pitch deck. Just a few honest sentences can go a long way.
The goal is simple: give someone enough to understand your idea — and tell you whether it’s worth building.
