About Try Validator

Independence
Try Validator (tryvalidator.com) is an independent publication about validating startup and product ideas. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any previous owner of this domain, or with any app, tool or company that has used the Validator name. In 2023 this domain briefly hosted an AI app that scored startup ideas; it went offline and the domain later lapsed and changed hands. We acquired it and built a new, separate publication whose colours and headline pay homage to that short-lived landing page. We do not sell software, score ideas, offer consulting or represent any company, and we have no access to accounts or data from any earlier website at this address.
How we work
Our guides draw on published research, books by practitioners and widely reported industry practice. We name sources in the text, hedge figures that are estimates and update articles when facts change. Rules on gambling, prediction markets, crowdfunding and consumer protection differ between countries and change often, so treat our summaries as a starting point. Photos come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited in each caption. Company and product names belong to their owners and are used only for identification. Some articles mention commercial products, casinos, sportsbooks or betting sites, and links on the site may be commercial; they do not decide what we write.
