Why Validate?

Validate: Problem/Solution• Customer confirms that there is a

problem.• Customer is already investing resources

into trying to solve this problem.• Customer is already investing behavioral

change into trying to solve this problem.• Customer does not have any constraints

that prevent them from trying this solution.

Validate: Business Model• The market research and
