Are We Building the Right Product? | Product Validation for Startups (15 Tests)

Описание: Are We Building the Right Product? | Product Validation for Startups (15 Tests)

Most startups don’t fail because they can’t build.
They fail because they build the wrong thing—too confidently, for too long.

In this episode of The Growth Engine, Mike Parsons breaks down 15 practical product-validation tests that remove guesswork from one of the hardest founder questions:

“Is this product actually wanted?”

Instead of opinions, surveys, or vanity metrics, Mike walks through a system of AI-powered operators designed to generate real evidence—before you scale, fundraise, or double down.

You’ll learn how to test:

Whether the problem is real and urgent

Whether users prefer your solution over real alternatives

Whether anyone will actually pay

Whether demand, retention, and referrals happen without pushing

Whether your business model can scale without burning the founder
