About CheckMVP
Hey! I'm Alex, the creator of CheckMVP. I've been building and launching my own products since I started programming professionally back in 2005. Over the years, I've had my share of wins... and my share of products that didn't quite take off.
After a while, I started to see the pattern: I was pouring time and effort into building things that, honestly, no one really wanted to use. Sound familiar? We've all been there!
So I decided to solve this problem for good. I wanted a tool that could take a raw idea and transform it into something actionable - showing me the potential market, possible customers, competitors, and the steps to get it out there fast. I wanted to validate ideas without losing months in development.
Just Talk to Your Customers!
Now, people always say that, and they're right! But what if you don't know exactly who your customers are yet? Or you're new to marketing and sales? What if you're guessing instead of knowing exactly who your ideal customer is? That's where CheckMVP comes in.
CheckMVP is designed for us: developers, indie hackers, digital creators, and early-stage founders. It helps us shape our raw ideas into clear, actionable concepts and validate them fast. So we can focus on building things people will love. Validate first – then build. This is the way.
What We Bring to The Table?
CheckMVP is an AI-powered platform that uses vast knowledge to help you refine your idea, concept, product, or startup using proven techniques that people have used successfully for years. AI is great; we love AI. These days, most of us turn to AI before using search engines. Why not utilize its power, right?
This is the 5th version of CheckMVP. I started with simple DMs on X and a few of my friends, asking them about their product ideas. Then I jumped into ChatGPT and built a few reports. Once people were satisfied, I created a Google Form to collect more detailed answers without spending too much time in chat. After that, I set up an automation using Tally, Google Docs, and other tools. Only after all these steps did I start building this web app.
It's been a long journey. And do you know how I got to this point? By using my own tool to build my own tool. Everything you see here was suggested to me by CheckMVP while I was developing CheckMVP.
Why Use CheckMVP Instead of ChatGPT?
Sure, you could open ChatGPT and type out prompts yourself. But we’ve spent weeks fine-tuning prompts and combining them into a single, hassle-free workflow. The result? You’ll get structured insights specifically tailored for startup validation, without the trial-and-error prompt tweaking or juggling multiple tabs.
Honest Disclaimer: AI Isn’t Perfect
We rely on an older variant of GPT-4o for quick, automated insights. Sometimes the AI may provide outdated info or “hallucinate.” If accuracy is critical for you, we also offer a manually crafted, deep-dive analysis using the latest models, reviewed by a human (that’s me!). It takes a bit longer, but you’ll get more credible, in-depth results.
Let’s Build Something Great Together
I’m constantly refining CheckMVP because I genuinely love helping founders succeed. Whether you’re testing a side project or a big idea, CheckMVP makes it easy to spot red flags early, find new opportunities, and move forward with confidence.
