Turn your idea into a real product. Use Draper to find out if your idea holds up, and then work through the next steps: business plan, brand, product, landing page, first customers — all in one place.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
We built Draper because the cards people are dealt (money, time, know-how, who you know) decide what feels possible. Too many good ideas go nowhere, and not for lack of ambition. The gap between "I have an idea" and "I did something about it" is too wide to cross alone.
Draper is an app that starts a business with you. Tell it your idea, even a rough one. It interviews you, reads what real people are already saying about it, and gives you an honest, sourced verdict. If the idea doesn't hold up, it says so.
If your idea has merit, use Draper to work through what comes next, one workshop at a time: a business plan, a name and brand, the shape of the product, a landing page that's live on the internet, then your first ads and first sign-ups. You never face a blank box, and you don't have to figure out the order yourself.
It's built for people starting something around a full-time job, with no startup experience and nobody in tech to ask. An hour after dinner still moves you forward.
The first two workshops, the Idea Summary and the Business Plan, are free with no card required. Then it's $9 a month.
We'd love to hear what you think. And for anyone here sitting on an idea: what's the one you can't stop thinking about?
Congrats on the launch! Can I use Draper even if I'm still at the idea stage?
Having a full time job and trying to start a business on the side is no joke. A bit of structure would go a long way.
Where does the customer feedback come from? That's probably the first thing I'd check.
Wish more people tested demand before spending months building something nobody asked for.

Who hunted Draper?
Draper was hunted by Dexter Todd. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
