What’s one thing you wish someone had told you before validating your first idea?

Everyone says “Validate before you build”, but no one tells you what that actually means until you’re deep in it.

Maybe you launched too soon, built too much before talking to anyone, or trusted feedback that sounded nice but meant nothing.

Looking back, what’s one thing you wish someone had told you when you were validating your first idea?

• Was it about asking better questions?

• Testing the right thing?

• Not trusting your cofounder’s cousin?

Asking out of curiosity, and because I’ve been building something that acts like a strategy consultant in your browser (helping structure business plans and challenge assumptions before you go all in).

Would love to learn from your stories.
