Free startup idea research — any takers?

I'm building a research service for founders. I'll research your startup idea for free — market size, competitors, top 3-5 real competitors, willingness-to-pay signal, and an honest verdict. Google Doc in 24 hours. Just looking for feedback. DM me or comment below.

    I like that you're including an honest verdict instead of stopping at market research.

    The hardest part usually isn't finding competitors or estimating market size—it's helping founders decide whether an idea is actually worth pursuing. That decision-making layer is what makes research genuinely useful.

      Exactly. Most research stops at data — but founders need a clear yes or no. That's what I focus on. Do you have an idea you'd like me to research for free?

        Appreciate the offer.

        I'm less interested in whether the research reaches a yes or no than how you decide when the available evidence is strong enough to make that call.

        Your reply made me think about one implication of that decision process that I don't think I can explain properly in a thread without oversimplifying it.

        If you're open to it, what's the best email to reach you on?

          Honestly, I'm a first-time founder still figuring out my process. I'd love to hear your thoughts. My email: [email protected]

            Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.

            Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.
