A SIMPLE GUIDE TO VALIDATING PRODUCT IDEAS

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

You've got an idea, and you're convinced it's great. You want to start building right now. This is how founders waste months on things nobody wants. PostHog's founders pivoted five times, and most of those ideas never made it past a single conversation. The trap is asking people if they like your idea - they'll say yes just to make you go away. Instead, find out if they've actually had the problem and tried to solve it themselves. If they built some crappy internal system to deal with it, there's probably a business there. If it's not a hair-on-fire problem for them, move on.
