Carried from our market research, all explicitly hypothesized, not validated. Phase 0 focuses entirely on solo pre-seed founders.
| Segment | Description | Phase 0 role |
|---|---|---|
| Solo pre-seed founder | Technical or non-technical, validating one idea before committing capital/time | Primary target for both validation tests |
| Repeat / serial founder | Evaluates multiple ideas (fits the planned 3-Pack SKU) | Secondary; useful for test diversity, not the primary recruitment focus |
| Small venture studio | Screens many raw ideas before allocating a team | Not targeted in Phase 0 — sales cycles too slow for a 45-day window |
