ValidationEmerging Pattern

Build multiple small tools simultaneously and share publicly to see which resonates

Q: How many founders have validated "build multiple small tools simultaneously and share publicly to see which resonates"?

1 founder has proven this pattern works. Examples include Lewis (AudioPen).

Instead of betting months on one idea, build 4-5 small tools in one week and share them publicly while building. The market will tell you which one people care about through engagement, questions, and interest. This rapid parallel testing reveals product-market fit faster than sequential building.
