Overview / Description
BuildOrSkip runs a structured evaluation on any startup idea and returns a score from 0 to 10 based on actual market signals — demand size, competitive density, estimated costs, and realistic revenue potential. It goes beyond vibes by surfacing data points that typically take hours to gather manually. Beyond the score, it recommends the right venture path: VC-backed startup, Micro SaaS, or side project — so founders don't over-engineer a lifestyle business or under-fund a scalable one. The whole process takes under a minute, making it practical to stress-test multiple ideas before committing time or money to any one of them. It's aimed at indie hackers, early-stage founders, and product managers who want a fast, structured sanity check rather than another brainstorming tool.
