FounderOS helps founders validate startup ideas before spending months building them. Turn your idea into a testable assumption, run small real-world experiments, collect customer evidence, and make clearer build, change, or stop decisions. Idea → Assumption → Experiment → Evidence → Decision Stop guessing. Start validating.
Hey everyone! 👋
I built FounderOS because I kept noticing a problem with how early-stage ideas are approached: it has become incredibly easy to build something before knowing whether people actually want it.
With AI and modern development tools, you can turn an idea into an MVP incredibly quickly. But building quickly doesn't mean validating quickly.
I wanted to create a simple workflow that helps founders slow down at the right moment — before committing months of time and money.
FounderOS is built around a simple process:
Idea → Assumption → Experiment → Evidence → Decision
Instead of asking AI, “Is this a good idea?”, FounderOS helps you identify the riskiest assumption, design a small real-world test, record what customers actually say or do, and use that evidence to decide what to do next.
One thing I care about particularly is recording negative evidence. If an experiment proves that an assumption is wrong, that's valuable information too.
This is still an early product, and that's exactly why I'm launching it on Product Hunt. I want to learn from founders who are actively validating an idea.
If you try FounderOS, I'd genuinely love to hear:
What was useful? What felt confusing? What would you change?
Thanks for checking out FounderOS. 🚀
