Ask HN: Need feedback on the idea I'm working on
Hey everyone,
I’ve been noticing a lot of friends starting lifestyle businesses on Shopify. Most of them have multiple ideas but end up picking the one that gets the most positive feedback from friends.
I don’t think that’s the right way to start a business.
So I’m building a platform that turns your business idea into a live landing page and then runs ads to test real demand.
I have a few early users right now and I’m trying to figure out how to reach more users. Would love to hear what you all think of this product.
If you're someone who wants to brainstorm on this, pls dm. Would love to connect https://www.yogiwarps.com/
My first impression of the idea is that what you're pitching is a lot like Kickstarter or Indiegogo (I'm assuming you're talking about physical sales because you mentioned Shopify). Kickstarter even holds money in escrow as a stronger signal of demand.
Interesting! Kickstarter is more goal oriented, our initial users just want to know if someone is willing to buy (or places a pre-order for) their product and then start growing their business if the market pull & size makes sense. Would you happen to know anyone around you who is starting a business or wants to start one?
Sorry, I do not.
