Validate Your MVP & Find Early Adopters

The "Zombie Startup" Problem

There is a silent killer in the startup world. It is not a lack of funding. It is not bad code. It is not even competition. The number one reason startups die is that they build a product that nobody actually wants to use.

These are "Zombie Startups." They have a beautiful website, a polished logo, and a functional product, but zero users. The founders spent six months writing code in isolation, assuming they knew what the market wanted. They launch on Product Hunt, get a few applause emojis, and then... silence.

The only way to avoid becoming a Zombie Startup is to validate your ideabefore you write a single line of code. You need to prove that real humans experience the problem you are solving and are actively looking for a fix.

How It Works: From URL to Users

Leado is designed to be the simplest validation tool in your stack. You don't need to be an SEO expert or a keyword researcher. The process is fully autonomous.

How AI Decodes Your Idea

When you paste your link, Leado doesn't just look for matching keywords. It understands the concept of your product.

For example, if you are building "A specialized CRM for window cleaners," Leado won't just search for "CRM." That is too broad. It will search for window cleaning business owners asking: "How do I keep track of my invoices?" or "I keep losing customer phone numbers."

It bridges the gap between the solution you built and thesymptoms the customer is feeling.

The 3 Stages of Reddit Validation

Validation isn't a binary "yes" or "no." It is a spectrum. Leado helps you identify where you stand in the market by categorizing the intent of the leads it finds.

Quantitative vs. Qualitative Data

Running Facebook or Google Ads gives you Quantitative Data. You know that 1% of people clicked. But you don't know why the other 99% scrolled past. You don't know if they hated the headline, the price, or the color scheme.

Leado gives you Qualitative Data. When you engage with a lead on Reddit, you get rich, unfiltered feedback.

• "I would use this, but I need it to integrate with Slack."
• "I tried a tool like this before, but it was too slow."
• "I won't pay $50, but I would pay $20."

This feedback loop is incredibly valuable for Pre-Seed startups. It allows you to pivot and iterate your product before you commit to a full launch. You aren't just finding users; you are co-creating the product with them.

Stop Guessing. Start Solving.

The market doesn't care about your solution; they care about their problems. Validation happens when you connect the two.

Leado gives you a direct line to the people who are feeling the pain point you are trying to solve. If you can't convince them to try your product when they are actively complaining about the problem, then you know you need to pivot.

But if they say "Yes, this is exactly what I need," then you have the green light to build. You enter the development phase with confidence, knowing that customers are waiting for you on the other side.
