Phase 1: Vision to Validation
Building on a Validated Foundation
I anchor your venture idea in market reality. This phase ensures your foundation is solid—validated and strategic—before you build.
Validate Before You Build: Data Over Assumptions
I don't just validate your business idea—I validate your market positioning and ensure it serves a real need in the world.
The Four Pillars of Validation
Each module builds upon the last, creating an unshakeable foundation for your purpose-driven venture.
Purpose Discovery & Articulation
A guided process to move from a general idea to a specific, articulated mission. I explore the intersection of your unique gifts, passions, and a genuine need in the world.
AI-Powered Market & Audience Analysis
I move from 'I think people need this' to 'The data shows this specific group needs this solution.' I use AI to rapidly analyze market trends, identify underserved audiences, and understand their deep-seated problems.
Solution Ideation & Value Proposition
Defining exactly what you will offer and why it's uniquely valuable. I co-create a clear, compelling statement that resonates with your target audience.
Initial Viability & Validation
Before writing a line of code, I test the core assumptions of your idea with real potential customers using low-fidelity prototypes and structured interviews.
