The problem
Building is easier than ever. Knowing what to build isn't.
Modern tools let almost anyone spin up a website, a product, or a business in a weekend. But the hard part hasn't moved. Founders still get stuck on the same questions:
- Knowing whether customers actually want the idea
- Validating that real demand exists
- Knowing what to do next
- Getting the first paying customer
