Entreprenerds Startup Validator:

100-Point Launch Readiness Checklist

Before You Launch – Your Complete Checkup

Launching a startup isn’t just luck or a leap of faith – it’s about making sure you’re prepared. Think about how a pilot runs through a pre-flight checklist before takeoff; the Startup Validator is the same idea, but for your startup. It’s a 100-point guided quiz that shows you what you’ve got down and what you might have missed. In other words, it’s your confidence booster before launch: you’ll see where you’re strong, where you need a bit more work, and get tips to fill any gaps

This isn’t about perfection - it’s about visibility and confidence in what you have and what you still need to work on.
