Most ideas lack what we call Validation, or proof that there are people who want - and can financially support - the idea. So many idea-stage resources, like incubators or mentorship programs, focus on helping you get validation. The best way to get validation is by talking to users and building a Minimum-Viable-Product (MVP) that showcases the most basic essence of what your venture does. So look for resources that help you either meet customers, build an MVP, or connect you to experts in your industry.
