Free idea check
Startup idea checker: test your business idea before you build it
Describe your idea in a paragraph. Nine AI experts check it the way an investment committee would — problem evidence, market size in your own currency, bottom-up costs, competitors, customer profile and risk — then hand you a scored go / no go verdict with the three things to do next. Your first full check is free.
What the check covers
Is the problem real?
The check starts with the problem, not the product: who has it, how often, what it costs them today, and what they use instead. Ideas that cannot answer this fail every later test.
How big is the reachable market?
Demand is sized bottom-up in your own currency — the population that actually has the problem in your market, multiplied by what they realistically pay per year, not a global headline number.
What will it really cost to deliver?
Engineering weeks, infrastructure per active user, support hours, payment fees and compliance are costed line by line, so the unit economics show up before the money is spent.
Who already serves these customers?
A competitor scan names who holds the market, on what terms, and where the gap is narrow enough for a new entrant to win.
Who is the customer, precisely?
You get a customer profile — segment, trigger, budget, buying objection — instead of a vague persona, so the first ten conversations are with the right people.
What could kill this after launch?
Legal exposure, data-protection duties, security surface and operational load are reviewed at the validation stage, where they are still cheap to fix.

Questions people ask
- What does a startup idea checker actually check?
- Four things: whether the problem is real and frequent, how many reachable people have it and what they pay today, what delivery costs bottom-up, and which legal, security or operational risks could invalidate the plan later. See the 7-step validation process.
- Is it free?
- Yes — one project and one full nine-expert analysis every month, verdict and action plan included. Pro adds more analyses, unlimited projects, council chat, competitor radar and exports. See pricing.
- Does it work outside the United States?
- Yes. You confirm your market, currency and language before the analysis runs, so sizing, pricing and regulatory notes match where you actually sell.
- How long does one check take?
- A few minutes. You watch each expert finish in a live checklist rather than staring at a blank spinner.
