Gathered what I've learned, combined it with AI, and built a free tool for people thinking of starting a business.
Why Validator?
I once opened a restaurant, miscalculated costs, and lost money because I didn't check the numbers carefully enough before investing. After working at different companies — from e-commerce, food tech to fintech — I saw it more clearly: so many people fail not because their ideas are bad, but because there's no easy way to validate them with real numbers before starting.
Validator is my small contribution — a free tool so anyone thinking of starting a business can:
- >Estimate costs, cash flow, and break-even before investing
- >Test business ideas with data instead of gut feeling
- >Know what to prepare to avoid costly mistakes
- >Feel more confident deciding — or know when to hold back
Not perfect, but improving every day.
Validator is still a work in progress. I built it from real experience and AI — hopefully it's useful for you.
The product will continue to improve. Your feedback is invaluable.
