Opportunity score
35/100
A clever, low-cost validation toy with a real insight, but weak monetization, retention, and defensibility; best as a lead magnet or portfolio project rather than a venture-scale business.
Founder verdict
NO
A cute indie validation toy with a real insight, but not a durable, high-revenue business.
What is Would you pay??
Would you pay? is an early-stage validation tool where users swipe right or left on indie startup pitches to signal whether they would pay. It positions itself as a harder, faster buying-intent signal than likes or upvotes, giving makers a percentage of would-pay intent, audience breakdown, and click-through data after 10 swipes. The site publicly reports 5,086 swipes and 94 indie startups. Revenue, MRR, and growth are not publicly disclosed. Monetization is limited to an optional $19 Boost for 24-hour deck priority, with a 100-swipe guarantee. It is built by Mustafa Ergisi and targets indie hackers and solo founders. Observed facts are the product's copy and public counts; assumptions are that this is a solo, pre-revenue or micro-revenue side project.
