Most startups die the moment the founder says, 'Let's start coding.'

Unpopular opinion: '𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚, 𝐥𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭.' 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬. Everyone talks about building. Nobody talks about validating assumptions. I’ve rushed into products. Beautiful interfaces. Clean logic. Perfect functionality. Result? Most of them died within 3 months. You know why? Because I was solving MY problems, not THEIR problems. Building without validation = Expensive therapy session. -The Virtual Bots - Beautiful automation. Zero customers. -Giaan3d.ai - Perfect AI tool. 25 users total. -Tribunal AI - Revolutionary (in my head). Dead in 4 months. Now you’ll say: “Okay, then let’s build an MVP.” But even MVPs cost time, money, and energy. That’s why my rule is simple: 👉 Crown Gate Filter BEFORE building 👉 Validation BEFORE hope 👉 Truth BEFORE assumptions Building is easy. Getting people to want what you build? That’s the real challenge. So before you build anything, even an MVP, go safer: The Crown Gate Filter.
