The feedback your friends won't give you

Flinch is a 15-minute shortcut to Product-Market Fit designed to kill family and friends telling you lies. It costs $49 to find out now if your idea works versus spending $5,000 to find out nobody wants it in six months. It's a 10-minute pitch followed by 5 minutes of raw truth. Buyers earn $12 as respect to ensure they don't hold back. Stop betting on hope—it isn't a strategy. Looking for people who have a good eye for great products/ideas to join the buyer pool. (free)
@allen_flinch the idea of paid honest feedback is interesting but curious about the business model. 49 dollars one time per idea with 12 going to reviewers seems hard to scale.
have you thought about a subscription for founders who want to test multiple ideas or iterations?
curious how you vet the buyer pool. what makes someone qualified to give useful feedback vs just brutal opinions?
@topfuelauto Hey there! thanks for the feedback. The current price point is a Day 1 experiment to lower the barrier for validation with the plan go to a subscription model later! Validation isn't a one-time thing. You test the idea, iterate the pitch, test again. The one-time price is intentional for now because I want founders to experience it and see its value. Once you get feedback from real people, you learn to work on your delivery, pivot your pain points, and build the confidence in front of strangers to present the offer well.
@topfuelauto You’re right to consider the vetting process. It’s one thing we’re actively working on now to ensure high quality, engaging people with experience and a good eye. Right now I'm manually screening for buyers who actually purchase products in the categories they sign up for like PMs and early adopters. Anyone can sign up but we do the matching manually with high quality listeners from our warm network for now. The feedback form is structured so that founders get quality reviews not just “I don’t like it” so they have great information to take back to their project or team.
