This problem hits different when you're technical

We've lived it, researched it, and mapped the exact path out

Pain Points for Technical Founders

Endless iteration without validation

Severity: High - prevents launching anything

Cost: Months of wasted development time

Marketing and positioning knowledge gaps

Severity: Medium - leads to poor messaging

Cost: Low conversion rates, unclear value props

Fear of public failure and judgment

Severity: High - prevents any launch attempts

Cost: Zero market feedback, prolonged uncertainty

This isn't theory. It's lived experience backed by systematic research across the developer community.

10+ years in business6+ years as full-stack developerProduct-focused, results-driven

I built this kit to help founders avoid the trap I fell into for years: perfecting features before anyone cared. Validation isn't about shipping more—it's about shipping signal. The goal is clarity, speed, and evidence. Publish a high-signal page, share it with real people, capture interest, test your message, and only then decide whether to invest. This template removes friction so the decision loop is days—not months.

I started my first business at 19 and spent a decade building for myself and others. Too often, teams (including me) built polished ghosts—products without proof. This kit is the antidote: a focused path to learn from customers first and build only what matters.

Hi, I'm Drew

I'll help you decide faster—validate in days, not months—so you either double down with confidence or walk away early without sunk costs.

Finally shipped after 6 months of "perfecting" my side project. The template forced me to focus on what actually matters.
