That's pretty cool! Didn't know that Flexport started out like this.
Here's another example of using a landing page to validate demand, and one where the product ended up being a very successful company: https://sumo.com/stories/80-20-business-idea-validation https://sumo.com/stories/80-20-business-idea-validation
I recently played around with the landing page method for an idea I had and ended up not getting much traction. That negative feedback was really useful in helping me decide whether to actually code up the app. Wrote about here, if anyone's interested: https://abiraja.com/the-landing-page-method/ https://abiraja.com/the-landing-page-method/
- system2 6y agoGood read. I think for anyone creating so many ideas and want to test, it is safer to try landing page method. 100 ideas, 3 really gets traffic, then those 3 really work.
- abi 6y agoYeah, I think the key point is that the landing page method is great for identifying smashing successes (high true positive rate, low false positive rate). But ideas that fail the landing page method might still be good, just need more investigation (high false negative rate).
