The founder thought he had hit upon a real need in the world, but put that the test before starting development. How many people only figure this out two years down the road and thousands of dev-hours wasted? > I wrote down my thoughts in a blog post, and about 1 week and 250,000 pageviews later, I decided to start working on the idea properly. > The next question was: Would they also open their wallets? For this, we went to Kickstarter. If we could get enough validation for people to actually fund the development of the software to a production-ready state, then we knew we would be on to something. I love that his demo for kickstarter was 50% mockups. Truly an MVP.
