How to find product-market fit with honest signals and not vibes — the metrics that matter, the false positives, and what to do before you have it.

How to do customer research that actually changes your roadmap — the conversations that uncover real problems, the surveys to skip, and what to do with the answers.

How to write a business plan in 2026 that is useful, not performative — the sections that earn their place, the ones to skip, and the format investors actually read.

How to validate a startup idea before you build a single line of code in 2026 — the conversations to have, the experiments to run, and the lies founders tell themselves.
