🚀 Building Probado – Customizable MVP feedback powered by vetted testers & AI (free tests for early users!)
Body:
Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Baltazar, a rising freshman at Babson College, and I’ve been working on Probado — a feedback marketplace designed for early-stage founders who want to test smarter, build faster, and waste less time guessing.
⸻
🧠 What is Probado?
Probado connects startups with vetted testers who provide structured, customizable feedback — backed by AI-generated insight summaries.
What makes it different?
🔹 Modular & customizable:
Founders pick exactly what they want tested — from UX, onboarding, or landing pages to product-market fit, value prop clarity, or conversion funnels.
No bloated bundles. Just pay for what you need.
This keeps Probado lean and startup-friendly from day one.
🔹 AI support:
After testers submit their feedback, Probado’s AI:
• Summarizes trends and patterns
• Flags common friction points
• Suggests improvements based on best practices
• Benchmarks your product against industry peers
You’re not just getting a summary — you’re getting a playbook.
✅ Progress so far:
• 40+ vetted testers onboarded
• Manual test system live and running
• Full website + founder dashboard launches in 2 weeks
🧪 We’re offering FREE tests!
If you’re working on an MVP and want real, structured feedback — we’ll test it for free.
Why? Because we’re testing our own systems too.
You get value, we get insight. Everyone wins.
🧍♂️ We’re also recruiting testers
If you’re someone who loves trying new products and offering honest, thoughtful feedback — join us!
You’ll get paid per test, have clear structure, and help shape the next generation of startups.
💬 A few things I’d love your take on:
• What’s one lesson you wish you knew before launching your first MVP?
• What part of your product do you think is hardest to test properly?
• How do you balance shipping fast vs. validating thoroughly?
• What feedback helped you make the biggest product pivot?
• What’s your go-to method for finding honest, helpful feedback?
🙌 Let’s build better products together
I’m 19, learning by doing, and want Probado to be shaped by real builders.
Any advice, feedback, questions, or rants — send them my way. I’m here to collaborate and grow alongside all of you.
Drop a comment below or message me — and if you’re building something cool, I want to see it.

Hey Baltazar! This sounds exactly like what I need right now. I'd love to take advantage of a free test.
I'm building an AI-powered business coach and am struggling with the exact validation challenges you mentioned in your post. We have an MVP, but I'm finding it tough to get honest, structured feedback beyond my personal network (who tend to sugar-coat things).
Your modular approach is really smart - I'd specifically want to test product-market fit and value prop clarity. Those seem to be my biggest blind spots right now.
To answer one of your questions: The hardest part of my product to test properly is whether people will actually use an AI business coach regularly vs. just thinking it's "cool" in demos. There's a big gap between "this looks interesting" and "I'll integrate this into my weekly routine."
Looking forward to seeing how this develops. The timing feels perfect for founders like us who are bootstrapped and need real validation without breaking the bank.
@baltazar_torres I attempted to reach out. How can we set some time up to speak?
@baltazar_torres Apologies for missing it there. I will take a look at your website since you are now live.
