Validating my business idea

JoleneNg

Hi! I’ve gotten positive feedback on my idea from a few friends and family members in the industry, but that’s just a small group. How can I get feedback from a larger audience, and how do I know when my idea is indeed 'valid'?

You can try asking on forums like BizSavvy or Reddit, that has more entrepreneurs. I am sure they would love to explore new business ideas. You can PM me your business idea too!

KarthikSubramaniam Could never figure out the karma thing on Reddit to use it.

Results sometimes are the best validation

Offer refundable pre-sales and see if anyone is willing to pay for it.

Zara El-Khalil Just have to join some smaller groups and be active in them for a while to gain some karma first and you would be able to gain enough karma to join the subs that you want.

A friend of mine built a website that didn’t have a working backend—only the frontend. He coordinated everything manually at first, then moved into marketing, generated some demand, and eventually invested further. Could this be something you could try?
