Hi everybody,
I'd like to have your opinions/advices on how to validate an idea before delivering a new product to market.

I think I've found a product that satisfies a need and I have created a prototype to validate its functionality .. it works.

anyway in order to sell to market, I would start a production line, warehouse and so on ... it is quite expensive.

before doing that I'd like to validate my idea in some way to check if the new product can have a market or not.

I am thinking of a pre-sale on crowdfounding platform to check the market response.

what do you think about it? can you suggest me other way to validate if my idea is good or not?
