Will your SaaS survive? Makers score each other’s launches
Free1,286 impressions#12 of its week
ValidateHunt is a product directory where validation is earned, not collected. You don’t buy your way onto the board, you judge other launches first, then your product competes on the record. The thesis is simple: 20 points. No inflation. Every maker distributes a fixed budget across real products, so scores mean something.
ValidateHunt is a weekly product competition where indie makers score each other’s launches to validate SaaS ideas.
