What Validators Are Looking For
11-30-24
Curious what validators evaluate when reviewing your startup idea?
Here are the big things they’re paying attention to:
1. The Problem
Is it real? Urgent? Costly? Validators try to gauge how painful it really is.
2. The Solution
Is it a creative or practical fit for the problem? Does it stand out from existing options?
3. Your Assumptions
Validators often poke at assumptions around user behavior or willingness to pay.
4. Business Potential
They’ll consider if the idea could scale, monetize, or serve a niche well.
