Striking... you are right about the AirBnB [1]. Even Henry Ford said if he would have asked people what they wanted they would have said faster horses. Steve Jobs also was known to do as he pleased because users don't know what they want.

Not familiar with washboard. I will check it out.

Another interesting case is the founder of SnapInspect. He asked realtors if they would pay in advance for this solution. A few did... and now it seems to be doing very well.

Thanks Michael, indeed it would be a nice article. I believe that in the early stages of ideation the percentages are considerably higher. The founders of javelin board mention 98% of startup ideas fail.

My concern is only at the experiment or interview level. If you ask 100 people, how many should be enough to proceed spending time/money on further analysis?

Do you think 70% of positive feedback is pretending too much??

Hi Jeremy1026, do you think the update on the landing page is clearer now? www.goowi.net ?

We will do exactly that !! Thanks a lot !

Thanks a lot for the feedback. We shall make clearer the benefits for the businesses (which are a lot).

Thanks about this comment. We will be addressing this concern soon with a different approach :)

Thanks a lot for your comments !!!. You are right, we somehow compete with loyalty programs. We add value to businesses to help them become socially responsible. We add value to individuals by giving them money & comfort on getting funds and disbursing them. We are prodiving value to social causes by giving them funds & spreading awareness.

We are working on making the message clearer.

Thanks a lot on your feedback. Your confusion is understandable and we clearly have to make the message clearer. We are marketing all 3 segments, as they are inter-related: the individuals, the businesses and the social cause organizations. Each one is served in a different way. Each one has pains/gains being targetted at Goowi.

Thank you very very much for taking the time to help me with this. The project is in validation state so all this feedback is extremely useful. I take good note of all your questions, worries & suggestions.

Among the many challenges, one I seem to be facing during the validation itself is to be able to address our 3 audiences, the individuals, the businesses and the social causes organizations. Each one has its own sets of questions on how Goowi works. Thinking about creating a section "HOW IT WORKS" and have 3 columns explaining it for each of them.
