Launched a simple service: submit your product or idea, and I’ll give brutally honest feedback.

What to fix, what to scrap, what to double down on. Based on what I’ve seen work (and fail) with hundreds of early-stage founders.

See: zerotostartups.com - feedback, MVP builds, go-to-market support. Pretty much everything you need.

You can post your idea here too, and I’ll reply with thoughts.

Hit me up if you ever find yourself overwhelmed with "roast" jobs. Been part of a few development processes now and the part I find most fun is hitting MVP then setting down and asking "why does the world need this and should we bother continuing?" The sobering disillusionment that comes with critical examination of a product is often a huge pivot point.

I suspect consultancy like this is going become a more important service, moving forward into a world where prompt engineering and vibe coding are making development more accessible to non-developers. While some may bring nice things to the table, most will not. Getting outside opinion will help separate the wheat from the chaff.

Not just roast, but that goes for lot of services :)
