SaaS Idea Validation

How painful is the problem for the people who have it?

How often does the problem happen?

How many potential customers have you talked to about this problem?

Can you reach a specific group of first customers (a niche, a community, a sector)?

Is the market big enough beyond your first niche (other cities, countries, sectors)?

Do you know the existing solutions and their prices?

Is your difference clear and hard to copy (local payments, language, niche focus, data, distribution)?

Have people already paid for a solution to this problem (another tool, a freelancer, staff time)?

Has anyone pre-paid, signed a letter of intent or joined a waitlist?

Do you know how you will get your first 100 users?

Do you already have an audience, network or partner who can reach these customers?

Can the first version be built (or faked manually) in under 4 weeks?

Do you (or your team) know this industry and can build or sell the product?
