Directory
Look at what founders are validating
Real startups, listed by their founders and put to the test.
A website can’t validate your idea. Your customers can.
Real answers from real people — surveys, interviews, and the analysis that makes sense of them. You bring the idea. The Hub brings the method.

We didn’t invent these methods. We made them fast.
People don’t buy products — they hire them to get a job done. Jobs-to-be-done finds that job. Proven methods, made fast enough to run this week — not read about for a month.
Hear it from buyers, not friends.
The Mom Test: what people did, not what they might do.
- “I’d totally use that!” — your roommate
- “Sounds cool — launch it.” — the group chat
- “I pay $40 a month for a workaround.” — prospect interview #3
- “I built a spreadsheet just to cope.” — survey response #11

Do you still have questions?
I already launched and nobody paid. How does this help?
A silent launch tells you nothing. You still don’t know if the problem was the idea, the price, or the pitch. The Hub takes what you built and puts real questions in front of real buyers — so your next month runs on answers, not another rebuild.
Can a website really validate my business idea?
No. Only customers can. The Hub doesn’t validate your idea — it walks you through validating it with real people: who to ask, what to ask, and how to read the answers honestly. The evidence comes from your market. The method comes from us.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?
ChatGPT has an opinion about your idea. It has never met your customers. The Hub collects evidence from people who might pay you — and uses AI only where it’s honest: reading their answers, not inventing them.
What if the answer is no?
Then you found out in two weeks instead of two years. A clear no with evidence is the cheapest outcome in startups. And the same answers that kill one angle usually point at the one worth building.
What does it cost?
Listing your startup and your first analysis are free. The full Hub is a paid plan — pricing is on one page, no sales call.
How long until I have real evidence?
Your survey link can be live in under an hour. Most founders see a pattern in the responses within a week.
