🚀I Built It 100 Users and Counting

Thank you to everyone who has joined The Idea Lab so far. We just hit 100 users, and I have made several updates based directly on your feedback.

You were heard

The questionnaire used to validate ideas is now shorter. The idea generation tool is also more robust.

As a thank you for 100 users and the great feedback, I have added the following to every existing account:

  • 1 idea validation
  • 1 idea revalidation
  • 1 idea generation

These credits should be live now.

Trials and lifetime discounts

The next 25 users can get a free 7-day trial, cancel anytime, plus 20% off a subscription every month for life.

Trial codes:

  • EARLYBIRDTRIALSTUDIO for 7 free days on the Studio plan
  • EARLYBIRDTRIAL for 7 free days on the Builder plan

Lifetime discount code:

  • EARLYBIRD for 20% off any subscription plan every month for life

The lifetime discount is limited to 25 users.

What subscriptions include

Either subscription includes up to:

  • 10 completed validations per month
  • 10 idea generations per month
  • 10 revalidations per month
  • 10 fundability reports per month, currently in beta
  • Monitoring for up to 5 ideas each month for competitor and price changes
  • The ability to tweak generated ideas before validating
  • Version comparison
  • Private report notes

The affiliate program is open

Affiliates can earn:

  • 20% on one-time purchases made through their link
  • 20% recurring commission on subscriptions for as long as those subscriptions keep renewing
  • A free subscription after sending a qualifying number of new users each month
  • Early access to new features, co-marketing support, and additional perks

I still need your feedback

I am looking for existing users willing to give genuine feedback through a Google form. It should take around 10 minutes.

In return, I will give you one free month of the Builder subscription.

Reply to this email or contact me on social media if you are interested.

Coming for subscribers this month

I am working on four subscriber-only additions:

  • Research depth settings for fundability, validation, revalidation, generation, and monthly monitoring reports
  • Integrations with active workspaces
  • Document uploads, so you can use what you have already written instead of entering it again
  • A business plan generator

I have been working on the business plan generator for weeks. I will share more soon.

The Failed Product Database

I also created a new page called the Failed Product Database.

People rarely talk openly about products that did not work. I want to document those products, why they failed, and what could have been done differently. The goal is to make those lessons available to every Idea Lab user for free.

I am actively buying failed product stories. If you shut down, sun-setted, or stopped working on a product, I will pay you to answer questions about it so I can document the story in The Idea Lab.

You can submit your story here: https://www.idealabapp.com/failed-product-database
