Is there any platform that helps you validate your ideas with real users from your target group?

I know indiehackers platform does provide feedback from real users, however, what if my target group is not a maker?

    Search on Facebook, Quora or really google for forums that match your target persona.
    Then try to directly get into contact with members and invite them for a coffee - you really only need 5 folks to talk to to get good feedback :)

      Is there any paid version for getting feedback? Coffee compensation is for offline meet-up, looking for online version.

      Like usertesting.com, but for validating business ideas and feedback of a MVP products.

    Thanks for starting the thread @Jinxuetan - if not maker, who would your target user be?

    There's always a chance where you can find a community for X, what you need to do is head over to Google.

    I have tried a couple of channels and communities to validate my passion project. I end up finding most of the responses on Instagram because my target is early-stage entrepreneurs and designer communities.

    You can also spend some time on Product Hunt, Quora or LinkedIn Group. Hope it helps!

    You have to find them with effort and research.

    Assuming you want accountants, you find out what communities/resources accountants use.
