About Us

IdeaValidator is an AI-powered business idea validation platform that provides entrepreneurs and startup founders with data-driven analysis of business ideas. The Service uses artificial intelligence (including third-party AI providers) to evaluate factors such as market viability, competition, and potential success indicators for your proposed business concepts.

The Service is provided online as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform on a freemium model, where certain features are available for free and additional features are offered through paid subscription plans.
