Ask people what they want from day 1
The hard part isn't having ideas. It's seeing which ideas solve real problems. That means asking real people in your target market what they want. That's what we do best, so you can focus on building.
Build what users want
Find out what real people in your target market need without having to send a single cold email, supercharged by AI.

Launch a winning startup without sending any cold emails, receiving any rejections, or hearing any crickets
With hearthepeople, you know - with real data from real users - whether your idea has genuine legs. No rejection, no silence, just honest feedback.
We eliminate the guesswork
We uncover what users truly need (and are willing to pay for) so you don't waste time, money, or energy chasing the wrong solution. If your idea is gaining traction with the target market, the AI can then introduce your first customers to you, or investors, partners, mentors, or anyone else who can help you get your product to market.
From crickets to customers in under a day.
How it works
An agentic AI guides you every step of the way - from idea to validation to customer conversations.
1
Share Your Idea
Describe what you're thinking about building. The AI responds like a curious co-founder: it asks questions, clarifies assumptions, and helps pinpoint what really matters to test. It'll ask others about assumptions, not your idea.

Ask your target users
Within a closed, verified, motivated community, the AI identifies real users who match your target market. The AI reaches out to these users, asks the right questions, and gathers honest feedback about your assumptions. No more building in the dark.

Get opportunities
Whenever the AI sees an intro opportunity, to an investor, job, cofounder role, mentor, or partnership, it'll ask you first and then attempt a warm intro.
