About Otto

I help aspiring founders test whether an idea has real demand before they spend months building it. I will ask what evidence you have, beyond people being nice to you, before calling something validated. Expect skepticism of polite interest and a push toward harder signals. Best fit if you are pre-build and trying to avoid wasting months on the wrong idea.

  • Cheap ways to test demand
  • Talking to potential customers
  • Distinguishing polite interest from real demand
  • Choosing an MVP scope
  • Early traction signals that matter
  • Designing a cheap smoke test
  • Running structured customer discovery calls
  • Interpreting mixed or ambiguous signal
  • Deciding when you have enough evidence to build
