Find out if your idea is wrong before you build it
Describe your startup idea in one sentence. IdeaQuest interviews you, maps it onto a lean canvas, surfaces the assumption most likely to kill it, and hands you a 7-day plan to test that assumption with real people.
Free to validate your first idea. No card required.
Illustrative example — not real user data.
How it works
Four steps from a vague idea to a plan you can act on this week.
- 1
Describe it in one sentence
Give your idea a one-line title. Don't polish it — a rough sentence is enough to start.
- 2
Answer a short interview
IdeaQuest asks focused questions about the problem, the customer, and what you're assuming to be true.
- 3
See your lean canvas and risks
Your answers become a structured canvas. IdeaQuest flags the assumption most likely to sink the idea.
- 4
Get a 7-day validation plan
A concrete week of steps to test that assumption with real people — before you write any code.
Why it's different
Most idea tools tell you what you want to hear. This one is built to find the weak spot.
Find the fatal flaw first
Instead of a list of things that could go wrong, you get the single assumption most likely to kill the idea.
An honest second opinion
No hype and no cheerleading. IdeaQuest is built to tell you when an idea is weak, not to flatter it.
A plan, not a report
You leave with concrete steps to test your riskiest assumption — not a document that gathers dust.
Save weeks of building
Spend a week validating instead of months building something nobody asked for.
Simple pricing
Start free. Upgrade only when you have more than one idea to validate.
Prices in USD. Pro is billed monthly and you can cancel any time.
Questions
Will it just tell me my idea is great?
No. IdeaQuest is built to be honest, not encouraging. Its job is to surface the assumption most likely to sink your idea — so you hear the hard part early, while it's still cheap to change course.
Do I need a finished idea to start?
No. A rough one-sentence description is enough. The interview is designed to draw out the details, including the ones you haven't thought about yet.
Is this a replacement for talking to real customers?
No, and it doesn't pretend to be. It helps you figure out what to test and hands you a plan to go talk to real people. The validation still happens out in the world.
What do I actually get at the end?
A lean canvas of your idea, a clear call-out of your riskiest assumption, and a concrete 7-day plan to test that assumption before you build.
What does the free plan include?
One idea, taken all the way through the interview, canvas, risk analysis, and validation plan. No credit card required. Pro is for when you want to validate more than one idea at a time.
Better to be wrong now than after six months of building
Spend a few minutes finding your riskiest assumption. Your first idea is free.
No card required.
