Question 1 of 7
Converting the pain points from customer discovery into solutions. The most important part is solving the problems real users have complained about, and turning problems into solutions is the part that comes most natural to me.
Question 2 of 7
A solution that is home to 50,000 users from all over the world, most of whom would have successfully used the product from end to end.
Question 3 of 7
I was on a group trip with my friends in Panama City Beach, Florida.
Question 4 of 7
Over time, it has gone from idea to clickable prototype.
Question 5 of 7
Sometimes it comes with just finding answers to solutions. Sometimes you just don't know until you get validation from users. Either way, you might still have to go back to the drawing board, so does it really matter?
Question 6 of 7
It depends on the kind of help. Getting more users for the beta waitlist is the most important thing for us in this moment. We want real users to test and give us feedback during the beta, so that's what matters most right now.
Question 7 of 7
Customer validation. How many people have this problem? How badly does this problem affect them? Are they willing to try new solutions for this problem? Are they willing to pay for this new solution?

Tobi has responded to some feedback for TripCircle
Will be keeping a close eye on this site as i love travelling and travel related apps. First things first your top nav bar shouldn't be giving any opportunity for people to leave your site so quick-consider removing. You have all the socials in the footer which is fine. At this point as i can see you're on a waitlist so prioritse frictionless email grabbing. Do you really need someone's phone number? The top two claim your cta's just deep link to the form bit useless really. Good luck!
TripCircleI appreciate the feedback. Something to consider for sure. We weren't collecting numbers at the start but we started getting a bunch of spam signups which aren't helpful. So asking for numbers helps filter that out. Getting a handful of real users for the beta compared to 3000 spam signups makes a huge difference. We need real users for the beta to test the features and make the product better overall. Hope you joined the waitlist.

So is this just a waitlist for now? Is this going to be an iOS app or a web app? There’s very sparse content and not much of a value proposition to entice people into joining a waitlist. I’m trying interested but I’d work on some app shots and a stronger value proposition.
TripCircleThe beta will be a web app and the full launch will be mobile apps for both android and iOS. The goal of the beta is to further validate our customer discovery and to see if we have the right solutions for the pain points we have already collected.
TripCircle is live on BuildHop. It is group trip planning that gets everyone on the same page: dates, votes, and cost splits in one place, instead of across a group chat. We are in private beta, waitlist open at tripcircle.us/beta. Honest feedback welcome, especially from fellow founders who plan group trips.
Awesome! Welcome to BuildHop, hope you receive some great feedback from the community. Here to answer any questions you may have. 🙌
