Hi everybody. I'm working on an app that enables entrepreneurs to validate their startup ideas from a problem to be solved, to an actual validated product idea, and more importantly, maintain their focus. I know all of you have gone or going through this journey and faced all the troubling and also interesting steps of customer development, product strategy, finding the right market fit, defining an MVP, product roadmap, metrics, analytics, and pivots.
The problem hypothesis is this:
I believe entrepreneurs find it very difficult and confusing when it comes to evaluating their startup idea, keeping the right focus, documenting the process of creating a product, and getting usable exports from their documented data.
There are many frameworks and vast knowledge out there to go through all of these steps. But it is hard for many founders to gather that knowledge at the beginning and many (based on my years of working with them) don't even know about it.
This product will be a wizard-like app that enables you to go forward step by step through completing small, to the point forms that will help you articulate your idea, get a better understanding of each step and apply different frameworks to it.
In addition, It won't help you to jump without noticing that there are missing steps. One big problem with technical founders is that they will open their IDEs first thing without even validating it (I'm guilty of this more than anyone).
At last, it will help you generate needed standard documents you need to provide to co-founders, investors, analysts, ...
Please let me know what do you think? Have you ever felt the need for something like this? Convince me not to do it.

Hi, I have not examined many countries yet, but handling the document formatting should not be the hard part of this I believe. We can start with the countries with most startups and go on. I agree that covering all the countries is an incredibly hard task though. This is really a good point.
