Menu hover prototype micro-interaction using Figma

We spent $50k on development… only to realize users hated it.

That’s what a founder once told me. 💡

They built an MVP based on what they thought users wanted. But without testing the idea first, they missed the mark—big time.

Here’s the lesson: Validate your product idea before writing a single line of code.

The easiest way? 👉 A Figma prototype.

It lets you:

  • 1. Test user flows before investing in development

  • 2. Gather real feedback early on

  • 3. Refine your idea without burning through your budget

Founders who skip this step often end up wasting time, money, and energy.

So, what’s your approach? Do you validate ideas with prototypes, or go straight to development? 💭
