Why Bad Idea?
There are no bad ideas, you say?
According to statistics, less than 1% of business hypotheses turn into a commercially successful digital product.

What happens to the other 99%?
These 99% of hypotheses are maximum
quickly check and "kill"
saving time and business resources

We are convinced that in the age of the Economy of Ideas
the most important skill of an entrepreneur is
the ability to quickly and effectively test their ideas.
And it often happens that the most unsightly or too
a risky idea turns out to be not so bad.
We already checked and killed
uneffective hypothesis
Fail fast — philosophy defining
quick business hypotheses verification approach
for early identification of their value.
The key goal of this philosophy is to shorten the time
and the costs
of non-working business hypotheses,
and quickly try something else: do a pivot.
By testing business hypotheses
we help startups and companies
reach their goals faster,
saving resources and time.
