Hey Product Hunt 👋 Over the last few years, I noticed something consistent: Most founders don’t fail because their idea is bad. They fail because they build too early — or build with the wrong execution structure. ValidateThenBuild is an experiment in changing that. Instead of charging development fees, we partner on equity — but only when there’s real validation behind the idea. No speculative...
Validate.Then.BuildHave an Idea? We Build It — Equity, Not Cash.
Ideas are everywhere.
Execution is rare.
ValidateThenBuild partners with founders who have validated real demand but lack a technical co-founder.
We work on an equity-first model — no upfront development fees — and build only after clear market proof.
If you’ve spoken to customers, understand the problem deeply, and see real signal — we bring disciplined execution.
No fluff.
No speculative builds.
No “let’s see what happens.”
Selective partnerships.
Apply if you’re serious.
