Thank you for the links - We were hoping that YC would have a data set of say the top 300 cities in each country with the data and give it for free to startups. The main sources are all paid services, which I understand, as putting the data together is arduous. We will put our final result out there for free on our site once we finish cleaning it up, but it would only be a ‘snapshot’ - YC have the connections and resources to put out a more real-time version. We just thought it would be a great addition to YC’s library of resources if they started to provide startups with some core reference data sets-Stephen
From my experience, it's mostly about creating value or filling a need, most of the interviews I have read, they either did user interviews, built a simpler version of the product and iterate on it. In a nutshell I would say there's not a single way for all startups to validate their idea, it depends on the industry an what you are building as well as where the idea originated from.

Started https://dotlayer.com like 2 years ago, it was initially called wpzoan, I started it when my friends would message me about issues they were facing with WordPress, at that time I totally hated WordPress, I guess that was the developer in me. But I later saw all the issues people were facing and it's worked out well.
So how does this work. Do I give your anonymous "expert" access to my server for them to do the fix? Or do I provide database and codebase dumps? Where is the security in your service to not have my code stolen along the way?
Also, using Brave browser on Android, I get a stack of Zeroes on your landing page for "Tasks Completed"... Pretty sure that's a bug or a fail as a selling point. Glad you got a project going and generating revenue!
