Most startups fail—not because they couldn't build—but because they built the wrong thing.

You have a business idea, maybe even a prototype. But do you have proof that anyone actually wants it? Without validation, you're building on guesswork. And guesswork is expensive.

Validate Before You Build gives you a clear, step-by-step system to test your ideas fast, reduce risk, and launch smarter. No jargon. No fluff. Just lean startup principles in action—designed to help you learn what your market truly needs before writing a single line of code.

Author Jaxon V. Rhodes walks you through the exact process founders, creators, and product teams use to turn assumptions into evidence and ideas into traction.

  • Identify your riskiest assumptions and test them fast
  • Build simple, effective MVPs that generate real insight
  • Run customer interviews and surveys that reveal what users actually want
  • Analyze results, pivot when needed, and move forward with confidence
  • Use lean feedback loops to keep learning and improving post-launch
  • Whether you're a solo founder, side hustler, or part of a startup team, this book will help you avoid wasted effort and create solutions people truly care about.

    Scroll up and learn the validation system that smart startups use to launch right the first time.
