I built a free 'Startup Idea Validator' — validates your idea using live social media conversations

Thanks for sharing! Have you validated your idea with the validator?

Is the service down? I've just wrote 3 sentences, chose the SaaS industry and it gives me an "Failed to validate idea" error.

Exciting tool! We also focus on fast early validation—with AI personas rather than live social media—to simulate qualitative feedback. Curious if you’ve tested your tool on niche micro‑SaaS ideas? How consistent are the results?

This is seriously cool — I love that you're pulling live social signals into the idea validation flow. That’s such a clean way to surface demand and avoid dead-ends.

I’ve been building something similar from a different angle (Launching in June!) — focusing more on simulated investor/user feedback and risk analysis once a founder has picked a direction.

Super curious how founders are reacting to your tool? — I’d love to swap notes sometime if you're down. Love seeing other builders tackling this early-stage clarity problem.

Wow nice product, I'm building an AI tool and final output quality is something I am struggling on. I will take some pointers from this

I just tested your Tool and its amazing, thank you

I love the idea behind this product. I myself is building a Marketing Starter Kit to help founders figure out marketing fast. I would like to try your product out and include on my starter kit and you would find the starter kit useful as well for marketing your product

Gotta say this is a great example of a lead magnet in action. You got me to not only try it but also checkout your product! Bravo! 👏

Just a quick update on this ,The failed to validate bug has been resolved.A patch has been applied. Incase it still happens just let me know.

Cool. What API do you use to search Reddit?

I clicked 5 times validate my idea button before it works. all others throw errors: failed to validate my idea or similar error.

Daamn it actually gave me a recommended angle which basically what i was going for with my startup i just wanted to test and see how it feels but ya its really good it also gave me reddit posts and questions. Great startup 🤑🤑

Demand Score: 78/100

Me happy! :)

Got 78 for my ai-generated childrens book startup. A nice tool for sure. Is this built on top of deep research from OpenAI or something? Its very cool

Got 72/100. Consider that a win!

Wow, this is Ashish! Just ran one of my ideas through it got instant clarity I’ve been struggling to get for weeks. Game-changing tool for any founder.

Thanks for sharing. This sounds interesting and worth a look.

So what is considered a high score and what are averages?

This looks interesting.

How are you using reddit / twitter data to validate this ? what do you use to compare ?

Will take a look.

Are the ideas made public or retained in your app?

This tool looks promising. I will definitely try it soon. Thanks for sharing

Amazing tool, its fast and easy to use and I think the aspect of getting relevant views based on reddit is a really efficient method to validate demand.

Got 72/100 for my business idea.

Just a quick update on this tool, I added a Sign up with Google to prevent abuse.

Nice. It was fast and seamless for me.
78/100 for my business idea - Netuorked.

Hey! I really like the idea of rating a business idea – especially the part with Reddit comments. That feedback was super helpful, so thanks for that!
When scrolling down, the follow-up suggestions (like TikTok generator, investor finder, business plan) didn’t quite match where I am right now.
I’ve already started building wireframes, so I’d need more of a “building assistant” AI at this point.
Still, the Reddit feedback concept is really valuable – I think there’s a lot of potential in that direction.

I've been thinking quite a lot about startup ideas over the last two years and I ended up scoring them based on the CENTS framework from the book "The Millionaire Fastlane" from MJ DeMarco, which stands for:

• Control: How much control do you have over your product vs. relying on third parties?
• Entry: How difficult is it for others to enter or copy your business?
• Need: How strongly does your business solve a real, existing market need?
• Time: How much can you detach yourself from actively working in the business with systems and automations?
• Scale: How easily can your business reach and serve a large audience?

Plus one more metric:

• Fun: How much would I enjoy working on it, and how well is it aligned with my interests?

Then rated each metric from 1 to 10 and used the average as the total score.

Not sure how useful this would be for your tool, but just as an idea.

i used it and trust me it holds a lot of potential. just the "suggest keywords" feature needs some improvemnt. it generates too specific keywords which are not found in reddit

I've spent a few weeks validating demand and markting on Reddit, so I used this to back-compared my work. It's pretty good; it checked the right subreddits. What I've been doing since validation is manually through the Reddit firehose and sifting for posts that are extremely similar and fresh and then replying on them. When you wrote "Runs it through live Reddit/Twitter data" I thought you meant it would flag relevant posts to me, which I'd love!

Thanks for this, cool tool to have.

great work soren

Just tried this and found the feedback very useful and insightful. Thank you for building this.

I had Tried the tool and found it genuinely helpful for getting quick clarity on my idea.

I gave it a try and was genuinely impressed. The analysis is spot-on and incredibly useful. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

Tried it for my product I just launched a prototype for and it raised the concerns I had during the initial build. Will definitely recommend.

I love this! What a great idea. I ran two different ideas through it real quick and the responses it gave me were pretty spot on. Very cool tool. Well done!
