About val8
Validate startup ideas with a panel of 45 AI investors, experts & users
Most founders validate startup ideas by asking friends or family-who are usually too polite to give brutal, honest feedback. Six months and thousands of dollars later, they launch to total silence. val8 simulates a room full of 45 realistic, critical stakeholders to stress-test your business concept before writing production code: 💼 15 Investors: Scrutinize TAM, unit economics, defensibility, and scalability. 🔬 15 Subject Matter Experts: Challenge regulatory hurdles, compliance, and technical feasibility. 👥 15 Target Users: Test switching friction, daily habits, and actual willingness to pay. Unlike standard AI that acts like a polite "yes-man", val8 includes dedicated skeptic and roaster personas that debate each other across rounds to uncover real blind spots. Founders receive an objective consensus score (1–100), key objections to solve, structural risk analysis, and concrete next validation steps.
