Frequently asked

Kasspian is an honest operator for early founders. It gives you a straight read on your business idea in about 90 seconds, then walks you to your first customers — the one test to run this week and the marketing channels that'll actually get you paying users (and the ones to skip). It keeps watching the market and tells you when something changes that moves your odds.

Kasspian is for founders trying to get from a hunch to their first paying customers — solo, side-project, or pre-seed. Not a cheerleader, not a lecture. If you've already raised a Series A, you've outgrown us.

The analysis works in three steps: you write your idea in plain English (a paragraph is enough), Kasspian reads it and scores it across market size, demand signal, risk, and competition, and you get a one-sentence call — build it, change it, or kill it. The full report breaks down the reasoning so you can argue with it.

The call is an opinion, not an oracle. Kasspian is right enough of the time to save you weeks of building the wrong thing, and we tell you when it's not confident. Treat it like a smart advisor's first take, not a judge's ruling.

Yes — that's the point. The honest read is the front door. After it, Kasspian gives you the one test to run this week to pull in real users, and a marketing read: which channels will actually get paying customers for your specific business, and which to skip wasting money on. You track the plays as you go and report what worked, so the next move sharpens. It's the path to first customers, not a one-and-done verdict.

Marketing mode is the get-customers half of Kasspian. Tell it your business — or paste your live site — and it gives you an honest channel strategy: where your first customers actually are, which channels to start with, which to skip, and the one play to run this week. Each call is backed by cited proof of how real founders in your space got customers, and you can track the plays as you go.

Kasspian has free, no-signup tools for each part of validation: an idea validator, a competitor check, a website conversion checker, and a marketing channel finder, plus calculators for market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), startup runway, cofounder equity, and your riskiest assumption. Each gives a real answer instantly; the full report ties them together. See them all at kasspian.com/tools.

Kasspian is built to give you the call — including the no — where a general chatbot wants to be helpful and leans toward telling you yes. You get the same hard rubric every read (market, demand, risk, competition, a conviction score), not an answer that shifts with how you phrased the prompt. Then you can argue with it, and it keeps watching your market after. A second opinion with no reason to flatter you, not a brainstorm partner. For a first sketch, ChatGPT is fine — but it won't give you the honest call.

Push back. Open Ask Kasspian on the report page and argue your case — bring numbers, customer interviews, anything. Kasspian will either change its mind with new info or hold firm and tell you exactly why.

About 60-90 seconds. Kasspian works through market size, demand, risk, and competition while you wait, then hands you a scored go / no-go you can read in one sitting.

A credit adds live web sources — real, cited market data and proof — to a single read. The core honest read is always free and unlimited, so you never need a credit for it. New accounts get a few free to try; after that you buy a small top-up, or go Pro for unlimited sourced reads. Credits never expire.

Free gives you unlimited honest reads, every free tool, and a handful of sourced reads to try — no card. Pro ($19/month, or $15/month billed annually) makes every read sourced with live web data, and unlocks the full get-customers marketing plan, competitor and market deep-dives, side-by-side version comparison, and a watermark-free PDF.

No. Sign up free and run unlimited honest reads with no card. A card only enters the picture if you want live web sources on every read or the full marketing plan — that's Pro.
