How to validate your SaaS idea before development
Do not build in a vacuum. Validate your SaaS idea with real customers before writing a line of code.
Validation First, Code Second
We walk through the 'Pre-sale' strategy and landing page MVP method to ensure your product has a market before the build starts. Validation saves you months of wasted development.
Define Your Hypothesis
Before validating, state your hypothesis clearly. This focus guides your validation efforts.
Create a Landing Page
Build a simple landing page explaining your value proposition. Use Carrd or Framer for quick setup.
Drive Targeted Traffic
Run targeted ads to your landing page. Spend $200-$500 testing different audiences.
Pre-Sell Your Idea
Reach out to captured emails and offer early access or pre-order pricing.
Warning Signs
If email capture is below 10%, reconsider your positioning before investing in development.
