From idea to verdict, in one short run.
Here’s a real walkthrough of Crowd Before: describing an idea, picking the crowd and reading the report it comes back with.
In your own words. We turn it into a clear pitch and work out the right market for it.
Pick the industries, roles, countries and size of the audience you want to test against.
Hundreds or thousands of realistic buyers react on their own: the problem, the price, what they use today.
A clear answer, with who to sell to, what to charge and your real competitors, in about a minute.
A second report to download: what to check, what to build first and your next 30 days.

The warmest groups, what they want and what holds the rest back.
From what interested buyers said they would pay.

Good to know
Who are the buyers in the crowd?
Each buyer is a persona shaped by real demographic, income and industry data for the market you choose. They react on their own to the problem, the price and what they use today. It is a fast first test, not a replacement for talking to real customers.
How long does a run take?
About 35 seconds for 100 people and around a minute for 500 to 5,000. Tools like the market analysis take another 30 to 60 seconds the first time you open them.
What do I get for free?
Your first idea: a run with 100 people and a partly locked report, showing the verdict, the summary and your top competitor. The idea generator, the name generator and reading the community are always free.
What do credits unlock?
Bigger crowds (500 to 5,000 people), the full report and PDF, what-if reruns, and the Game Plan plus every founder tool for each paid run. Credits are bought once and never expire.
Where does the data in the tools come from?
From your crowd test plus live web research done when you open a tool, such as public market figures and competitor websites. Sources are linked under each result and estimates are labelled.
Is my idea private?
Yes. Your ideas and reports are visible only to your account. Community posts are public, so only share what you are happy for others to read.
