The Hidden Cost of "Free"
You might think, "I can just Google this stuff for free." And you're right—you can.
But your time isn't free. If you value your time at even $50/hour, spending 40 hours researching a market costs you $2,000. And that's just for one idea. What if you need to validate three ideas to find the winner?
StartupVision automates the grunt work so you can focus on the high-value decisions. We turn weeks of research into minutes of reading.
