A fast, practical micro course for aspiring founders. Use AI to find your riskiest assumption, research market size without getting fooled by hallucinated numbers, draft customer interviews, map competitors, run quick demand tests, and turn the signals into a clear go or no-go decision before you spend money building.
Most business ideas fail for one reason: nobody wanted them enough to pay. Validation is the cheap, fast work you do before you build to find out whether an idea is worth pursuing at all, and this free micro course shows you how to run that process with AI as your thinking partner. In about forty minutes you will move from a fuzzy idea to a clear, evidence-based decision.
Across six short lessons you will frame your idea as one testable sentence and find your riskiest assumption, research market size and trends without getting fooled by the plausible-looking numbers AI is prone to inventing, draft non-leading customer interview scripts and synthesize the notes into patterns, map direct, indirect, and status-quo competitors, run quick demand tests like landing pages and pre-sales, and finally turn every signal into a confident go, pivot, or no-go decision. You will leave with ready-to-use prompts and a repeatable loop you can apply to any future idea.
This course is built for aspiring founders and solo entrepreneurs who are evaluating an idea and want to avoid wasting months building the wrong thing. It is completely free, beginner-friendly, and assumes no business background. Finish every lesson and pass the final exam to earn a free certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume.

Aspiring founders and solo entrepreneurs who have a business idea and want to test whether it is worth building before spending time and money. It is beginner-friendly and assumes no business or technical background.
No. The course is fully no-code and tool-agnostic. The prompts work in free or paid versions of common AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and the demand tests use simple, low-cost methods like landing pages and waitlists.
No, and you should distrust any tool that claims to. AI is a thinking partner that surfaces hidden assumptions, drafts research and interview scripts, and argues both for and against your idea. The decision, and the judgment, stay with you.
That is a core teaching point. AI can confidently invent plausible-looking market sizes and citations, so the course teaches a verification workflow: use a web-browsing research mode, force the model to cite every figure, open each source yourself, and keep only numbers you can trace.
Yes. The entire course is free, and finishing every lesson plus passing the final exam earns you a free certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume.
