Bespoke validation & Jobs to be Done research for investors

Invest in products that solve real customer needs.

If you hustle together $50,000 to start your business and spend all $50,000 on your first idea only to see it fail, that’s bad.

On the other hand, if you have $50,000 and spend $5,000 to learn you’re running down a dead end, that’s awesome. You can use the rest to find a viable path to your goal, with the advantage of all the extra things you now know.
