I have zero faith in AI for this use case. But if you want an example for this idea with actual human validation, a small Israeli VC fund created an "Idea Graveyard" where entrepreneurs share ideas that failed with an explanation of what was the idea, how far did it get, and why it failed.

I think that for someone with zero experience in funding a VC backed company its a great place to get a feeling of what you need to do to "Validate" your idea, by seeing what people in similar positions did to validate theirs.

(I'm not from that fund, and they are not investing in my company)

Don't take it too seriously. My app is focused on providing a quick and easy way to share initial project concepts with others. The key is feedback gathering. I use LLM just to quickly provide project brief for user.

Heh, you should probably take your idea seriously if you put any effort into it, don't you think?

I'm sure there is a good core for this idea but if your product can be replaced by a google docs folder and copy pasting from a chatbot than more likely than not you need to do more ideation

VC projects die for reasons that are not existent for a solopreneur, if much this "graveyard" could be a great place to find ideas that were executed poorly by people that didn't care about the resources they had to spend.
