Validator.vn

Community

Founder · 2026 – present

Gathered what I've learned, combined it with AI, and built a free tool for people thinking of starting a business.

Why Validator.vn?

I once opened a restaurant, miscalculated costs, and lost money because I didn't check the numbers carefully enough before investing. After working at different companies — from e-commerce, food tech to fintech — I saw it more clearly: so many people fail not because their ideas are bad, but because there's no easy way to validate them with real numbers before starting.

Validator.vn is my small contribution — a free tool so anyone thinking of starting a business can:

>Estimate costs, cash flow, and break-even before investing
>Test business ideas with data instead of gut feeling
>Know what to prepare to avoid costly mistakes
>Feel more confident deciding — or know when to hold back

Not perfect, but improving every day.

Validator.vn is still a work in progress. I built it from real experience and AI — hopefully it's useful for you.

The product will continue to improve. Your feedback is invaluable.
