Find out if your idea will work before you build it
Describe your idea. We find real people who match your target customer and ask the hard questions. You get a one-page answer in days.
Most validation gives you false confidence.
| Method | Time | Cost | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ask friends | 1 day | Free | Polite nods |
| Reddit poll | 1 day | Free | Wrong audience |
| Landing page test | 2 weeks | $200+ | Clicks, not answers |
| Hire a researcher | 6 weeks | $10K+ | A report |
| Validue | 3–5 days | Free to start | A clear answer |
Most methods give you polite feedback, vanity metrics, or a pile of notes. Validue gives you a decision. See what holds up, what breaks, and where to dig deeper before you commit months of work.
One page that tells you the truth.
Every campaign ends in a one-page report showing what held up, what broke, and what to do next.
What we tested
What people actually said
“I'd 100% pay extra for someone who can show up today. My current guy takes a week.”
“Honestly? My neighbor's guy is great and he's been doing my house for years. I wouldn't switch.”
“Letting a random in feels weird. Show me their background check and I'm in.”
The bottom line
Don't build the marketplace. Build a same-day repair concierge for homeowners who already trust their pros - and lead with the background check, not the speed.
Your first report is free. Results in 3-5 days.
From idea to answer in a few days.
You submit the idea. We figure out what needs to be true, find the right people, and turn their responses into a report you can act on.
Describe your idea
Write it in plain language. We break it down into the questions that actually need answers.
“uber but for handymen. tap a button, someone shows up in an hour to fix stuff.”
Real people pressure-test it
We match your idea to people who fit your target customer and ask them what they actually do today - not what they'd hypothetically do.
Read your report
Each claim gets a clear result - confirmed, challenged, or refuted - with evidence and a recommended next move.
50 responses
People already have a guy they trust. Lead with the background check, not the speed.
We find the 50 people who matter.
Your idea doesn't need 10,000 opinions. It needs structured feedback from 50 people who actually match the audience you're trying to reach.
10+ dimensions, weighted per idea
Interests, expertise, industry, experience, location, founding stage, company size, age - plus profile reading that catches real-world relevance your checkboxes would miss.
Three layers filter bad data out
Profile tier gating blocks incomplete profiles. AI quality-scores every response. Trust scoring tracks reliability over time. Low-effort answers never reach your report.
Each question finds its own expert
Smart routing scores respondents against each question individually. A pricing question goes to buyers. A trust question goes to skeptics. Not everyone sees everything.
“I spent four months and thousands of dollars building a product nobody wanted. Friends were encouraging. Reddit liked the idea. I mistook that for validation. The first real customer conversation killed it in five minutes. Validue exists because that conversation should happen before you build.”
Simple pricing for early validation.

Your monthly plan unlocks the product. Campaign funding is your separate respondent reward pool. Pro makes that budget go further.
Questions founders ask before joining.
Short answers. No marketing.
How is this different from a survey tool?
Survey tools let you ask questions. Validue tells you which questions to ask, finds the right people to answer them, scores every response for quality, and turns it into a one-page report. You don’t build a survey - you describe an idea and get an answer.
What does funding a campaign mean?
Your plan gives you access to the product. Campaign funding is a separate budget for respondent rewards. That’s what pays for the feedback itself, and Pro makes each dollar go further.
Why not just do customer interviews?
Do both. Interviews are great once you know which five questions matter. Validue helps you find those first - from a wider, less biased base. Think of it as triage before the deep conversations.
How do you actually find the right people for my idea?
Every respondent builds a profile - interests, expertise, industry, experience, location, and more. When you submit an idea, we score every respondent against what your idea actually needs and only the best matches see your questions. Different questions can route to different people based on who’s most qualified to answer.
What if my idea is too niche?
Our matching reads profiles for real-world relevance, not just checkbox matches. If we can’t find enough qualified respondents, we’ll tell you before the campaign runs - and you don’t pay.
Is the report actually useful?
The report is the product. One page: what held up, what broke, what to test next. Founders use it to decide what to build, what to change, and what to kill.
When does it open?
We’re in closed beta while we tune respondent matching and report quality. Join the waitlist and you’ll be first to know when spots open.
You already know which part of your idea you're least sure about.
Test the biggest risk before you spend more time building around it. We're letting people in gradually during closed beta.
First report is free. It takes about 2 minutes to describe your idea.
