Thread 1: Validation Framework
1/7 Most founders build first, validate never. 🧵
Here's the 7-day framework that got me 10 paying users before a single line of code:
2/7 Day 1: Problem Interviews
Don't pitch. Ask: "Walk me through the last time you [problem]..."
Goal: 10 convos, 3+ "I'd pay for that"
3/7 Day 2: Landing Page in 30 Min
Carrd (free) + Stripe Payment Link
Hero: One-liner + "Get Early Access"
Form → Airtable
4/7 Day 3: Cold Outreach
20 DMs/day: "Saw your post about [pain]. Researching a fix. 5 min?"
Book 5 calls.
5/7 Day 4: Discovery Calls
Listen > Pitch. Note exact language.
Pre-sell: "Founding member — $X/mo forever"
6/7 Day 5-6: Decision Matrix
Kill / Pivot / Build based on:
- "Would pay" count
- Waitlist conversion
- Pre-sales
- Your gut
7/7 Day 7: Launch or Pivot
If Build → Ship MVP in 14 days.
If Pivot → Change ONE variable (ICP/problem/price).
If Kill → Next idea. You saved months.
