I've been searching for ways on validating startup ideas - and one single advice that I found reaper over and over was building a landing page, explain the project (maybe even add some pricing info) and try to collect as many emails as possible.<p>I've done something similar with my new project - http://www.pinmark.in - and I've managed to gather about 25+ email addresses but I don't feel like the this is real validation and that there's still a big enough market to focus my time 100% on it.<p>What other techniques you use to validate your startup idea and when do you have enough validation to commit and start working on it?<p>P.S. If you have any feedback on Pinmark.in please feel free to drop a comment. Thanks!
The page is missing your name, company details, address. If you plan to charge money for a service I'd want to see some hints that you're a real company which is stable enough to exist in 12 months.
