Hi Product Hunt, I’m Arda — I built mvpAI so early founders stop wasting time on bad startup ideas

For years I watched early-stage founders spin their wheels for weeks or months trying to test ideas—only to hit a wall or pivot too late. I did it myself. It drained time, cash, and energy.

That experience drove me to build mvpAI, a lightweight tool that simulates investor feedback and user reactions in days—not months. I’m designing mockups and persona-driven tests so founders can avoid burnout and know whether to pivot, proceed, or pause before writing code.

I’d love to hear:

• How have you validated your startup idea, especially before coding anything?

• What worked, what failed fast, and where did you waste the most time?

• Which tools or approaches helped you decide sooner?

  I’m building this to crack a common pain point, rooted in my own journey.
  Would love to connect with fellow makers who’ve been there—and learn from what didn’t work for you.
