about // idea2.work

Every good business starts with a validated idea.

Idea2.work exists so founders can check an idea against the market before spending months on it. One paragraph in, a cited report out: score, competitors, unit economics, roadmap, and the people who want to build it with you.

principles // four

How we decide what to build.

01

Cited, not asserted

Every number in a report links to the research it came from. If a source is weak, the confidence says so.

02

Fast enough to use

A full report in about a minute, so validation happens before the weekend build, not after it.

03

Public by default

Ideas become indexed pages that other founders can read, build on and team up around.

04

Private when it matters

Premium keeps a report private. We do not share or sell idea data.

how it works // three steps

Scan, validate, connect.

01 · Scan

Trend, funding and sentiment data is read across markets every day.

02 · Validate

Each idea is researched, scored on six dimensions and given a roadmap and PRD.

03 · Connect

Founders express interest on an idea page and match on complementary skills.

models // four

Different models for different jobs.

Research and scoring are separated so a citation is never invented by the model that scores.

how it works // research and scoring, kept apart

A citation is never invented by the model that scores.

An idea card rides past one tool per model. Perplexity pins its citations; behind the wall, GPT can only score what was pinned. Then the report docks public by default, or under a cover when it should stay private.

Fig 1 · step through the stations with the arrow keys; space closes the private cover. Pin counts and the gauge swing are illustrative.
