Validate First

The marketplace to sell before you build

A zero-risk marketplace to pre-sell your SaaS idea before writing a single line of code. Founders sell lifetime deals to real buyers and instantly build a beta community. If the product isn’t built, all payments are refunded. Think APPSumo before having an MVP

I’ve never been a big fan of building things that wouldn’t monetize. There’s nothing worse than working for months, hitting launch, and making $0. Who wants to waste their life on that? The real struggle is finding actual buyers before you build. A waitlist isn’t validation, IMO! Real founders know you need real money on the table. That’s why I started ValidateFirst—out of pure frustration. It’s a place where you sell first, build later. No more guessing, no more fake “interest.” Just real validation from people willing to pay. If no one buys, you don’t build. If people buy, you don't build. People are refunded. Simple as that. There’s a detailed FAQ, because I know people will have questions. How does it work? 1. Founders post their SaaS idea and set a pre-sale target. 2. Early backers buy a Lifetime Deal (LTD) to fund the build. 3. If the goal is hit, you build. If not, everyone is refunded. Why should I use this instead of a waitlist? 1. Waitlists are just “interest.” Pre-sales are actual money. Real validation, not just email signups. Who can list on ValidateFirst? 1. Serious founders only. You need a clear idea, plan, and timeline. No “maybe” projects. What do backers get? 1. Lifetime access to your new SaaS (if built) at the lowest possible price. Full refund if it’s not delivered in time. What’s the risk for founders? 1. Zero. If nobody pays, you don’t waste months building something no one wants. What’s the risk for buyers? 1. Zero. If the project isn’t built, they get 100% of their money back. How does ValidateFirst make money? 1. We take a small fee from successful pre-sales, for early adopter in our project that is half % What if I want to cancel my pre-sale? 1. You can cancel any time before building. All backers are refunded automatically. What makes this different from Kickstarter/Indiegogo? 1. We’re focused only on SaaS. No swag. No gadgets. Just digital products, validated fast. How is my money held? 1. Funds are held in escrow. No founder touches the money until the build is confirmed. What if the founder never delivers? 1. You get a full refund. No exceptions.
