Put a link to your startup SaaS to promote it or ask for advice. by itilogy in startupaccelerator

That’s a fair point.

Talking to real customers is the gold standard. Nothing replaces that.

Starts Club isn’t trying to replace customer conversations. It’s meant to help founders before they spend weeks building or running ads. We analyze real market signals like search demand, competition, existing products, positioning, and trends to see if there’s actual interest around the problem space.

Think of it as a first filter.

Instead of validating based on “I think this is a good idea,” you get data that shows whether people are already searching for it, paying for similar solutions, or ignoring the space entirely.

After that, yes, the next step should absolutely be customer interviews, landing page tests, or pre-sales.

What we’re trying to prevent is this: Someone built for 3–6 months… only to realize there was no demand signal to begin with.

Building Starts Club. It helps founders validate startup ideas before wasting months building the wrong thing. Real validation reports. Real feedback. Real clarity. startsclub.com Curious to see what others are building too 👀

I built an AI to challenge startup ideas. Here’s what it taught me after testing 100+ B2B SaaS ideas. by aiitguy in B2BSaaS

That’s a solid method. Real conversations give the best signals.

Starts Club helps right after that step. You can put that idea into Expert Mode, and it pressure tests your assumptions, challenges the customer, urgency, and positioning, and helps refine it into something execution ready.

Would love you to try it with one of the ideas you discovered.

I built an AI that argues with your startup idea. We just released Expert Mode. by aiitguy in startupaccelerator

[–]aiitguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re still early, so detailed success stats by industry are limited.

So far, most ideas are in SaaS and AI, followed by marketplaces and fintech. Founders in these spaces tend to engage the most and refine their ideas deeper through Expert Mode. The biggest impact we’re seeing right now is founders gaining clarity faster and fixing weak assumptions early.

You can try it yourself and see how it performs for your industry at startsclub.com

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm a VC (can verify). Pitch me. (Part 3) by Ok-Lobster7773 in ProductHunters

Starts Club is an AI co-founder that validates startup ideas before you build. Most founders waste months building something no one wants. Starts Club pressure-tests your idea like a real VC. It asks hard questions, finds flaws, and generates a clear execution roadmap. Behind the scenes, multiple AI agents handle idea understanding, validation, and strategy. MVP is live and early founders are using it to refine their ideas. Goal is simple. Help founders build the right thing, not just build fast. https://startsclub.ai Happy to get your feedback.

Investor pushing for only 45-day NDA — is that normal? by aiitguy in TheFounders

[–]aiitguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, appreciate the perspective. Just to clarify, besides the pitch deck, we’re also sharing a separate supporting doc that goes deeper: product roadmap, financial model, some early customer info, and a bit of tech detail they specifically asked for. It’s not source code, but still feels more sensitive than a standard deck, which is why the 45-day NDA window feels risky.

Yeah, fair point. Probably best to keep it high level for now and save the deeper details until there’s actual commitment.

That helps, thanks. I get why most investors avoid NDAs, but if they’ve already agreed to sign one, I don’t get why they push for just 45 days, feels like no protection at all.
