Don't Build That.
Not Yet.
Most startups don't fail because they built too slowly. They fail because they built the wrong thing. Revery validates your idea before it drains your bank account.
Free forever for solo founders. No credit card. No wasted runway.
FOUNDERS WHO VALIDATED FIRST
Four validations between your idea and a costly mistake
Each workflow is a checkpoint. Pass all four, and you've earned the right to build. Fail one, and you just saved yourself months of wasted effort.
Problem Validation
Is anyone actually in pain? Most founders skip this and build solutions to problems that don't exist. Eleven structured steps force you to prove the pain is real before you spend a dollar.
Solution Validation
Your idea might solve the problem. Or it might be an expensive guess. The Value Proposition Canvas with real-time Fit Score exposes every gap between what you're building and what customers actually need.
Journey Validation
Even a good solution fails with a broken experience. Map every touchpoint from first discovery to loyal advocate — and find the friction points that kill adoption before you code a single screen.
MVP Definition
Only now — after three layers of validation — do you earn the right to define what to build. Evidence-backed scope. Assumption mapping. A Readiness Score that tells you the truth, even when you don't want to hear it.
A gauntlet, not a runway
Each stage is a validation gate. Only proven ideas advance. The rest die here — before they cost you everything.
Interrogate the Problem
Most 'problems' are assumptions wearing a disguise. Expose the truth.
Stress-Test the Solution
Does your fix actually fit? The Fit Score doesn't lie.
Map the Breakpoints
Find where customers would abandon you before they ever see your product.
Earn the Right to Build
If you've survived this far, now you know exactly what to build — and what to leave out.

“Killing a bad idea isn't failure. It's the smartest investment you'll ever make. Revery's Hope Engine turns every 'no' into a compass pointing toward what actually works.”
Founders Validating Smarter
Ideas Killed Before Build
Hypotheses Stress-Tested
In Wasted Build Costs Prevented
Built for founders who think before they build
AI-powered validation tools, motivational systems for when ideas die, and structured workflows that protect your runway.
AI-Powered Synthesis
Upload interview recordings and let AI find the patterns that disprove your assumptions. Evidence-backed insights that tell you the truth, even when it hurts.
Full Iteration System
Every assumption, every pivot, every kill decision is versioned. Track how your understanding evolved and why you decided not to build what you almost built.
The Hope Engine
Killing an idea hurts. The Hope Engine turns every dead idea into a lesson, every pivot into momentum, and every 'no' into fuel for finding what actually works.
Milestone Celebrations
30 milestone types with celebration animations. We celebrate kills just as loudly as launches — because knowing what NOT to build is a victory worth recognizing.
Truth Database
Every validated insight — and every invalidated one — lives in a searchable knowledge base. The evidence that killed your last idea might save your next one.
PMF Readiness Score
A single honest score that tells you whether you've earned the right to build. No vanity metrics. No false encouragement. Just the truth about your readiness.
Founders who validated first
Real stories from founders who killed bad ideas, saved their runway, and built only what the evidence demanded.
Revery killed my first idea in 9 days. I was devastated — then I realized it saved me 6 months of building something nobody wanted. My second idea passed all four validations and is now generating revenue.
Sarah Chen
Founder, MealPrepAI
The AI synthesis found a pattern across 15 interviews that I completely missed: the problem I thought I was solving wasn't the real problem. Without Revery, I'd have burned $30K building the wrong solution.
Marcus Rodriguez
Co-founder, UrbanFlow
I used to jump straight from idea to code. Revery forced me to sit with the discomfort of not building. Turns out, 3 of my 4 assumptions were wrong. The one that survived became a product people actually pay for.
Priya Sharma
Solo Founder, EduBridge
The Hope Engine is what kept me going when my hypothesis was invalidated. Instead of feeling like I failed, I felt like I'd dodged a bullet. The pivot suggestion led me to a market 4x bigger than my original target.
James Okafor
Founder, GreenCommute
As a non-technical founder, every dollar I spend on development is irreversible. Revery's validation process gave me the confidence that when I finally did hire a developer, I wasn't guessing. I was building on evidence.
Elena Vogt
Founder, PetConnect
We ran three ideas through Revery simultaneously. Two were killed in the Problem Validation stage. That's $50K in development we didn't waste. The survivor is now our fastest-growing product line.

CEO, NexLayer
