Validation Mode<br>Validate Before You Build<br>A validated idea saves months of wasted building. Use these tools to talk to real customers before you write a single line of code.

Interview QsSurveyReddit PostLinkedIn DMsCold Emails<br>Customer Interview Questions<br>10 questions designed to reveal real pain — not just polite feedback.

Copy all<br>1Walk me through the last time you had a business idea — what did you do next?<br>Why ask this: Reveals actual behaviour vs. stated behaviour. Most founders overestimate how much research they do.

2What's the single biggest thing that stops you from launching your ideas?<br>Why ask this: Surfaces the real friction point — is it fear, time, money, or uncertainty? Each requires a different solution.

3Have you ever paid for help validating or researching a business idea? What did you use?<br>Why ask this: Establishes willingness to pay and maps existing competitive alternatives in their mind.

4How do you currently decide whether an idea is worth pursuing?<br>Why ask this: Uncovers the decision-making process and where it breaks down — your tool can slot into that gap.

5Tell me about a time you built something nobody wanted. What happened?<br>Why ask this: Triggers emotional memory of failure — the strongest motivator for buying a validation tool.

6If someone handed you a full business plan for your idea tomorrow, what would still be missing?<br>Why ask this: Reveals what they actually value beyond a document — action steps, confidence, social proof?

7How many hours a week do you realistically have to work on a side project?<br>Why ask this: Sets expectations and helps you understand if time-to-insight is their core constraint.

8What would 'validated' look like to you — how would you know your idea was ready to build?<br>Why ask this: Defines success in their language, not yours. Gold for positioning and landing page copy.

9Who else do you talk to when you're deciding whether to pursue an idea?<br>Why ask this: Identifies influencers in their decision process — potential referral channels or co-marketing partners.

10If this tool existed today and saved you 3 months of trial and error — what would you pay for it?<br>Why ask this: Anchors willingness to pay after establishing value, not before. Gets you real numbers.
