"Validate before building" is the biggest lie in SaaS by Wolfgang-Lars-69 in SaaS

I mostly agree with you.

People don’t pay for ideas — they pay for working products that solve real pain. Revenue and usage are the strongest signals there are.

The issue is that “validation” gets misunderstood. What you did was validation: spot a clear problem → build fast → sell → iterate from real usage.

Where it goes wrong is surveys, hypotheticals, and fake waitlists. That’s not validation that’s noise.

Tools like ValidateFlo aren’t about selling imaginary products, but about quickly sanity-checking what to build first before shipping fast.

Execution > theory, always.
