Why founders use STARTUPTEST

Real sources, not guesses

Every pain point and market figure is sourced from Reddit threads, Amazon reviews, market reports, and competitor review platforms — not hallucinated.

30 minutes, not 3 months

What takes an experienced founder weeks of manual research is executed in a single session. No spreadsheets. No agency fees.

Built-in kill signals

Most validation tools tell you what you want to hear. STARTUPTEST tells you when to stop. Clear kill conditions at every step.

What founders say

“I had been working on my idea for 4 months before running it through STARTUPTEST. Step 2 showed me the market was a third of what I thought. Painful — but better to know before I quit my job.”

Solo founder, B2B SaaS, Berlin

“The Competition Audit alone was worth it. It found three competitors I didn't know existed and showed me exactly where they all fail. That became our positioning in the pitch deck.”
