  • Market Validation Tactics for Pre-Seed and Seed Tech Startups
    Stefan Sarbu - 27 May 2025
    Every startup begins with a hypothesis: there’s a real problem, and you have the right solution. But you haven't validated anything until someone outside your team cares enough to engage—sign up, pay, or even just respond. Still, this step often gets overlooked. Early-stage founders frequently jump straight into building, pitching, or scaling, driven by momentum or pressure to show progress. Validation becomes an afterthought—something to deal with once there’s a product or a few users.
  • How Foundation Models Are Redefining Lean Prototyping for Tech Startups

    Startups are under pressure to move fast and prove value early. Investors want to see working demos before they commit. Users expect polished experiences even in beta.

The best founding teams don’t just have the skills; they complement each other's strengths and weaknesses to form a cohesive unit.
