Product Researcher

About ValidatingValidating helps founders find out if their idea is worth building before they spend months and money on it. Instead of asking friends or an AI, founders test their ideas with real people. That's where you come in. The roleAs a Validator & Product Researcher, you give honest, structured feedback on new product and startup ideas before they launch. Each study takes around 5 minutes on your phone, and you choose which ones to take. Your answers directly shape what gets built, what gets changed, and what gets dropped. Founders aren't looking for compliments. "I wouldn't use this, and here's why" is exactly the kind of answer they need.
