Ask HN: How would you validate this idea?

1 pointsby trezabout 12 years ago
Dear HNers,<p>Until now, we failed to get some real feedback about our startup idea. We got a few like one or two "good idea" or "I can already do that without your product" but nothing which would really help us to know if we are in a not too bad direction or if we should correct our plan.<p>In one line our idea is: build an API to customise PDF templates with some user data.<p>If you want to know a bit more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5601127.<p>Knowing this idea target developers and/or designers, how would you try to get some valuable feedback from them? The best would be to be able to chat with few people having needs in that area.<p>Any idea welcomed.

Sorry to rain on your parade but I don't think it's a good idea to build a startup around that. Besides, investors with money to invest probably have more than enough money to clone it within days. I don't see any way you could make money with this and I also think that anyone can do it with libraries like pdf.js if they really wanted to.
