Validation History

You're in good company.

The biggest companies in the world started with a "Fake Door" test.

Dropbox

Before writing code, Drew Houston made a fake video showing features that didn't exist yet.

Result: 75,000 Signups in 1 night

Harry's Razors

They launched a simple Waitlist Page before manufacturing a single razor blade.

Result: 100,000 Emails in 1 week

Buffer

They put up a Pricing Page for a tool that didn't exist to see if people would click "Paid Plans".

Result: Validated Willingness to Pay

You don't need a film crew.
You need a meme.

People overcomplicate validation. You don't need a polished commercial. The best performing validation ads are often simple phone photos with text overlays.

1

Use Canva Mockups

Don't have the product? Photoshop it. It's called a "Render Test." It's standard practice.

2

Run $50 on Meta/TikTok

Set objective to "Traffic." Target a broad audience. Let the algorithm find your buyers.

3

Watch the CTR

If your Click-Through Rate (CTR) is > 1.5%, your hook is working. Now check the Deposit rate.

"Can't I just build this myself?"

Honest answer: Yes, you can.
But you're here to validate a product, not debug Zapier connections.

The "Duct Tape" Method

  • 01.
    The Tech Stack Mess You'll need a landing page builder (Carrd/Wix), an email tool (Mailchimp), and a payment processor (Stripe). Then you have to make them talk to each other.
  • 02.
    GA4 & Event Tracking To know exactly who clicked "Buy" vs who just viewed the page, you need to set up custom events in Google Tag Manager. It's tedious.
  • 03.
    The "Fake Door" Logic If you aren't taking deposits, you need a way to capture the email after they click Buy, but before they realize it's out of stock. Standard forms don't do this well.
Optimized

The Validatr Workflow

  • 01.
    Purpose-Built Templates Our templates aren't generic. They are designed specifically for "Pre-orders" and "Waitlists." The buttons, forms, and modals are already wired up.
  • 02.
    No-Code Logic Want to switch from "Collect Email" to "Collect $5 Deposit"? It's one toggle switch. No API keys, no webhooks.
  • 03.
    Instant Verdict We don't give you a messy spreadsheet. We calculate the Conversion Rate and tell you if it hits the industry benchmark for a "Winner."
