FAQ

Market validation tests whether there is credible buyer demand, market logic and evidence behind a product, service or growth assumption.
When should market validation happen?
It is most useful before scaling, fundraising, entering a new market, launching a new offer or committing major commercial resource.
What evidence is usually reviewed?
Buyer feedback, pipeline, customer conversations, pricing assumptions, competitor context, sales data and route-to-market evidence may be reviewed.
How does this support investor readiness?
Investor readiness often depends on credible market evidence. Validation helps strengthen the commercial narrative and reduce unsupported claims.
