Validate Startup Ideas With AI Research

Gives your AI agent the ability to run startup validation from raw idea to investor-ready pitch. Each skill handles a distinct phase: design validates the core idea with research and customer discovery, competitors maps the competitive landscape with real data, positioning builds a defensible market position using established frameworks, and pitch constructs investor narratives in multiple formats. Because the skills share reference materials and can read each other's output, you can run them in any order or all together to build a complete startup assessment.

1. Describe your startup idea or pick a skill based on what you need (validation, competitive analysis, positioning, or pitch). 2. The skill runs research using web search and structured workflows. Agent-based operation in Claude Code runs waves in parallel; sequential operation in Claude.ai runs them one at a time. 3. It produces markdown deliverables with research findings, strategic frameworks, and actionable outputs. 4. If running multiple skills, each can import prior output and layer deeper analysis on top. Output: a complete validation package or isolated analysis, depending on scope.

A raw startup idea becomes a validated strategy with research evidence, positioning rationale, and investor-ready pitch. All grounded in real market data, not guessing.

Requires Agent tool availability (Claude Code) for parallel research waves, or executes sequentially in Claude.ai. Web search needed for real data; knowledge-based fallback reduces confidence ratings and requires independent verification. Token budgets scale with research depth tier (Light/Standard/Deep). Session state preserved in PROGRESS.md for resuming interrupted workflows.

High token consumption because the skill runs multiple research agents per workflow and produces large documents. Claude Max 5x recommended. Web search must be enabled for real-time data (falls back to knowledge-based mode if unavailable). Customer interviews in startup-design require actual calendar time (1-2 weeks). Some reference materials are lengthy; expect 10+ files per complete session.
