How do you validate your problem idea?

by•
What's your best practice to check the customer problem? I usually take into in depth interview first

Funny story here. I was absolutely obsessed with validating our marketplace which is launching its first half on July 17th, so I made QR code sheets that linked back to a Google questionnaire I made. I gorilla glued maybe 800-1200 of these in public transportation hubs, stations, & vehicles as a form of gorilla marketing. I would wake up at 4 am every morning for a month and paste these sheets in hopes to catch the morning rush before they were taken down. It's funny to look back on it now, but I was able to prove to myself I can get things done, no matter how difficult as well as demonstrate my will & hustle to create a successful startup.

Public release MVP or Beta. People lie too often in the interview.

Validating your problem idea can be done through market research, user surveys, and prototyping - don't forget to test, iterate, and gather feedback along the way! 🚀

Just validate it by your own thoughts, and hope it validates in the real world.

@charmandro do you use reddit also?
Charlotte Chiang
@ammanahalfian I do! It's not the easiest place to be as a brand and I'm still getting used to rules of engagement, but it's incredibly good for real, honest feedback

Analyze competitor offerings, quantify the problem, and seek expert opinions.

What I find problemanting with problem validation is that, in many cases, the problem isn't the problem at hand. It is already a result of a deeper issue. Firstly I'd validate if the problem exists in the fist place by talking to others and see if they experience it. The 5 why's is a good way to dive in deeper. Secondly I'd create assumptions and validate if the problem is a real problem or not. Build measure learn principles are useful
