THE VALIDATION LOOP

Six signals that are 100x more valuable than 500 likes.

Likes and polite compliments from friends don't pay bills or prove product-market fit. We extract clear, actionable validation indicators.

01

Target User Match

Reach people who actually match the age, university, and budget profile of your customer.

02

Intent to Use

Measure whether the pain point is sharp enough that people will actively use your solution.

03

Willingness to Pay

Ask the money question in Sri Lankan Rupees before investing 3 months writing backend code.

04

Top Objections

Discover trust barriers, alternative habits, and reasons someone would say no on day one.

05

Skin-in-the-Game

Collect high-intent beta waitlist signups and email commitments from future early adopters.

06

Actionable Decision

Decide with high confidence: Build the MVP, Pivot the Offer, or Kill early.

FOR FOUNDERS & BUILDERS

Validate your startup campaign in 4 steps.

1

Define Target Audience

2

State the Hypothesis

State what you believe is true and the exact question the Sri Lankan student community needs to test.

YOUR TURN
