Lean Startup Validation Coach Needed
Worldwide
I’m a first-time, solo founder shaping a digital product and I want to be sure the market truly needs it before I pour more time and cash into code. My top priority is validating the overall business concept, so I’m looking for a coach who can guide me through rigorous idea validation using lean-startup principles.
Here’s what I need:
• A clear, assumption-driven validation plan that translates my hunches into testable hypotheses
• Hands-on help designing and running lightweight experiments—landing-page smoke tests, concierge prototypes, customer interviews, fake-door ads, or whatever best fits the question at hand
• Straightforward frameworks such as Lean Canvas, JTBD, and cohort-based metrics to keep us honest about the data
• Regular 1-on-1 sessions (video or voice) to inspect results, interpret feedback, and decide whether to pivot, persevere, or kill an idea
• A concise summary report at the end outlining what’s been validated, what remains risky, and recommended next steps for the MVP
I’ve done preliminary research but haven’t built anything yet, so you’ll be jumping in at the perfect stage to influence direction. Experience with no-code tools, Google Analytics/Hotjar, survey platforms, or similar validation utilities will be valuable, though I’m flexible on exact tooling as long as we can move fast.
If guiding founders from vague idea to data-backed concept is your sweet spot, I’d love to hear how you’d tackle the first few experiments and what success metrics you typically watch.
