When I took my first idea to a company in Israel, they quoted me about $30,000 for a product spec, a prototype, a deck and a plan. I learned the rest the hard way, mistakes included. Today you don't need that budget to start. Talk to customers first, ship small with AI, and let real users tell you what to build next.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Every guide in the path is free, and StartWise's Idea Validation Exam is free to take. Some steps use paid tools (like Claude Pro for Claude Code), and each guide says what it costs before you start.
Do I need to code?
No. Validation and customers need no code at all. The shipping steps use AI tools where you describe what you want in plain words.
How long does it take?
Validation takes seven days, about ten hours. A landing page takes an afternoon, a demo one to two hours, and your first ten customers four to eight weeks. Each guide shows the real time before you start.
What is StartWise?
The platform I built for founders: an AI co-founder, idea validation, and the tools to raise when you're ready. The 7-day trial is free.
