Business Idea:
A platform that helps early-stage founders track and showcase genuine startup momentum through validated signals like user interviews, pilot agreements, and viral waitlists, beyond just revenue metrics.
Problem:
Founders often struggle to demonstrate meaningful progress to investors and stakeholders when revenue isn’t yet generated, making it difficult to attract support and build credibility.
Solution:
A structured dashboard and community that aggregates and verifies non-revenue traction metrics (interviews, pilots, waitlists), helping founders present compelling growth signals publicly and privately.
Target Audience:
Early-stage startup founders, angel investors, accelerators, and startup mentors seeking to assess real momentum beyond financials.
Monetization:
Subscription plans for premium access, analytics insights, and personalized coaching. Partnerships with accelerators and investors for exclusive data insights.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Focus on early traction signals that reflect genuine product-market fit and momentum, providing a more holistic view than revenue-based metrics, with a community-driven verification layer.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple MVP that allows founders to input and display their traction activities, promote through startup communities and social media, and gather feedback. Offer early access to select founders and investors to refine the platform.
