Six sections, 18 items, plus AI prompts ready to use immediately.

Built for founders and aspiring entrepreneurs who want evidence before they commit — not encouragement to build something nobody asked for.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You've been refining the idea for months — but you haven't tested it with a single real customer

Everyone you've told thinks it's a great idea

Friends, family, and colleagues are encouraging — but they're not your customers, they don't want to discourage you, and polite enthusiasm is not the same as genuine demand.

You're not sure which part of the idea is the real risk

Every new business rests on assumptions — but without naming the riskiest one and testing it first, you might spend months building on a foundation that was never there.

You're waiting until it's ready before showing anyone

The instinct to polish before sharing is understandable — but it means you might spend months building something only to discover the market doesn't want it the way you built it.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Inside the checklist, 6 sections and 18 items

Define the Idea Sharply

Tick off the foundational items — writing your idea as a clear problem-and-solution statement, narrowing to a specific target customer, and naming the single riskiest assumption so you know exactly what to test first.

Research the Market

Work through the items for checking online search and discussion signals, studying existing competitors to find where demand already exists and where the gaps are, and making a rough estimate of whether the market size is worth pursuing.

Talk to Real People

Tick off the interview items — talking to potential customers about the problem before pitching anything, listening for genuine pain and active workarounds, and asking unbiased questions that surface the truth rather than the answer you want to hear.

Test Demand Cheaply

Work through the low-cost demand tests — a simple landing page, a small targeted ad or post, and a pre-order or paid pilot that puts real money on the table as the strongest signal of genuine interest.

Decide and Iterate

Tick off the decision items — setting validation thresholds in advance, being willing to pivot or kill the idea if the evidence is weak, and moving to a minimum viable product only when the signals are strong enough to justify it.

Put AI to Work

Three ready-to-use prompts — for sharpening your problem-and-solution statement, uncovering the riskiest assumptions behind your idea, and drafting unbiased customer interview questions — so you can start validating today.

For some shipping companies, it takes 2-5 business days for the tracking information to update on the system. If your order was placed more than 5 business days ago and there is still no information on your tracking number, please contact us.

Will my items be sent in one package?

For logistical reasons, items in the same purchase will sometimes be sent in separate packages, even if you've specified combined shipping.

If you have any other questions, please contact us and we will do our best to help you out.

Returns

Order cancellation

All orders can be cancelled until they are shipped. If your order has been paid and you need to make a change or cancel an order, you must contact us within 12 hours. Once the packaging and shipping process has started, it can no longer be cancelled.

Refunds

Your satisfaction is our #1 priority. Therefore, you can request a refund or reshipment for ordered products if:

If you did not receive the product within the guaranteed time (45 days not including 1-3 day processing) you can request a refund or a reshipment.
If you received the wrong item you can request a refund or a reshipment.
If you do not want the product you’ve received you may request a refund but you must return the item at your expense and the item must be unused.

We do not issue the refund if:

Your order did not arrive due to factors within your control (i.e. providing the wrong shipping address)
Your order did not arrive due to exceptional circumstances outside of our control (i.e. not cleared by customs, delayed by a natural disaster).
Other exceptional circumstances outside of our control.

*You can submit refund requests within 15 days after the guaranteed period for delivery (45 days) has expired. You can do it by sending a message at support@sellvia.com

Exchanges

If for any reason you would like to exchange your product, perhaps for a different size in clothing, you must contact us first and we will guide you through the steps.

Please do not send your purchase back to us unless we authorise you to do so.
