Over the past few years, I’ve launched a few small products and kept running into the same issue. Getting honest and useful feedback was difficult. Friends were either too kind or too unclear. Reddit and Twitter were inconsistent. Surveys felt like guessing in the dark.

This repeated struggle led me to start building Feedplain, a feedback marketplace created for builders who want better ways to validate and improve what they’re building. Recently, I watched a talk by Andrew Ng where he explained how AI is changing the way products are built, and how it increases the need for faster learning, iteration, and user feedback. That talk gave me even more confidence to continue with what I had already started.

Feedplain allows builders to post feedback requests with a small budget. Reviewers (often other builders or domain experts) apply to respond. Feedback includes both structured questions and open-ended insights. In some cases, this evolves into deeper discussions or lightweight advisory-style support.

Importantly, the goal is not limited to early idea validation. Feedplain is built to support product decisions at any stage. Builders can use it to improve UX, test positioning, refine features, or rethink pricing, anytime they need clarity from real people.

The product is almost ready. The waitlist is live, early signups are coming in, and I’m currently building a strong reviewer base with people who care about thoughtful feedback.

If you care about this space and have experience in product, community, or marketplaces, I’d love to talk. I’m looking for potential co-founders to join early and help shape what Feedplain becomes.
