The most common mistake first time founders make is they don’t validate their idea properly – or at all. Too often, founders plunge headfirst into working on their ideas without ensuring it’s viability. Result? Months or even years of wasted time, money and opportunities working on something nobody wants.

Learn how to get users first (yes, you can do this!), then build your product based on what you know users want. Discover whether your startup idea is one that people want and will use. Find out quickly, at low cost, and with no code.
