How Pre-Seed Founders Can Run Fake Door Tests

Episode 46 of The Pre-Seed Podcast explores fake door tests — a low-cost validation method for idea-stage founders. Lucas and Luna break down how to set up a landing page with a 'buy' or 'sign up' button that leads to a 'coming soon' message, measuring real intent before building anything. They discuss the pros and cons, using examples like a SaaS tool for freelance designers and a health food subscription box. The hosts explain why this technique works best for B2C or simple B2B products, and caution against misleading customers. They also share tips on driving targeted traffic, interpreting click-through and drop-off rates, and iterating based on results. By the end, listeners will know how to run their own fake door test in under a week, a critical skill for pre-seed validation without wasting development time. #FakeDoorTest #PreSeedValidation #IdeaStage #FounderTips #LeanStartup #CustomerDiscovery #MVPMinimumViableProduct #LandingPage #StartupHacks #NoCodeTools #BusinessValidation #ProductMarketFit #Entrepreneurship #Bootstrapping #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PreSeedPodcast #StartupAdvice Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
