The First-Timer's Dilemma

You have an idea. You're excited. But you're also overwhelmed by questions you don't know how to answer.

"

I don't know what I don't know

Without experience, you can't identify the blindspots that will sink your startup before it starts.

"

Is my idea actually good — or am I just excited?

Validation requires more than friends saying "great idea!" You need real market data and objective feedback.

"

I can't afford consultants on my bootstrap budget

Market research firms charge $50K+. You're bootstrapping with limited runway and every dollar matters.

"

Who will honestly tell me if this won't work?

Friends say it's great. You need objective feedback that challenges your assumptions with data, not opinions.

  • Training data cutoff — outdated market info
  • Walls of text — hard to share or act on
  • No sources — can't verify claims
