_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________VALIDATE YOUR IDEA
Since you now have a business idea or something like that, it’s time to go and validate it. Use other people to help validate and improve your
idea. Even here in the camp you are surrounded by different kind of people: there are different genders,
ages, career backgrounds, experiences, nationalities etc. So go and ask other teams, tutors, teachers... how they find your idea. If
you have suitable connections back home, you can of course call them.
Every successful startup company validates their idea in the beginning of their journey. Coming up with a product idea for your new business can
be difficult. Even more difficult is building the confidence to make the jump and go through with your idea once you do have one. Will anyone
care? Will anyone buy it? These are common questions you’ll ask yourself at some point in your journey.
The truth to be told, you’ll never know with 100% certainty how well your product idea will do until you actually open up the business. However,
by validating your idea before jumping in head first, you can mitigate risk and build confidence in your idea before investing too much time and
money.
Idea validation is the process of testing and validating your idea prior to launching your business name, tagline, product, service or website. This
is like the research and development process big companies use to test product ideas before they’re released to the general public.
