Frequently asked questions
What is Idea Validator?
Idea Validator is an AI-powered startup idea validator. You paste your business idea and it researches the market, competitors and demand signals, then scores your idea on viability, differentiation and timing — with cited sources for every claim.
How does the scoring work?
Your idea is evaluated across three weighted dimensions — commercial viability, defensibility (moat) and market timing. Each dimension is backed by cited evidence, and the results combine into a single, honest score that tells you whether your startup idea is good enough to pursue.
Where does the research data come from?
The market research AI pulls from public web sources, competitor listings and real demand signals. Every claim in your report links to the source it came from, so you can validate the business idea for yourself instead of taking our word for it.
Is it free?
Idea Validator is free to start — paste your first idea and get a validation score at no cost. Paid plans for deeper research and unlimited validations are coming soon.
