An article addressing the internal doubt builders face about solving the right problem while building in public.

The pain

Builders publicly share progress and receive applause but internally struggle with uncertainty about whether they are solving the right problem or just staying busy without validation.

The gap

While building in public is popular, there is a lack of guidance or frameworks to help builders validate problem-solution fit beyond external applause and social validation.

Build angle

Create content that helps builders critically assess their problem focus and provides frameworks or tools to validate if they are solving the right problem while building in public.

Strengths

  • Addresses a common psychological and strategic pain point for startup builders.
  • Taps into the growing trend of building in public and startup transparency.
  • Potential to resonate with a large audience of early-stage founders and builders.

Risks

  • The idea is conceptual and may lack immediate actionable solutions.
  • Market saturation with content on startup validation and building in public.
  • Unclear if the audience will pay attention beyond social media applause.
