02 / THE FOUNDER’S SIDE OF THE STORY

Building is hard.
Guessing is harder.

Three situations we’re exploring with founders. Which feels familiar?

The product is taking shape. The evidence that someone needs it is still missing.

I built it. But who needs it?

Field Researcher

Reviews accessible sources and finds candidates who fit the research context.

Sources, dates, founder context, concrete episodes and missing details.

Example instructions +

Find recent, specific episodes and relevant founders in accessible, authorised channels. Keep the source, date and context. Qualify by context, not by the problem we hope to find.

Why I built Virgiò
05 / SANDRO’S OWN EXPERIMENT

Eight months building.
Then better questions.

I built an MVP before understanding the problem deeply enough. Virgiò grew out of the research I needed to do next.

BEFORE VIRGIÒ

Eight months building an MVP before understanding the problem deeply enough.

WITH VIRGIÒ

A documented research funnel: source → deeper review → evidence → next question.

The two-month pilot +

Target: 300–500 unique posts screened per day across permitted channels, 5 October–30 November 2026. A planning goal, not guaranteed throughput or a measured daily average; access restrictions can reduce coverage.

Next: compare evidence, talk to founders and test a smaller offer. This landing page is part of that experiment. No measured time-saving baseline or validated customer outcome is claimed.

A little more about my story +

My background is in business management, innovation and entrepreneurship, with experience in digital marketing and B2B sales. I started Virgiò alongside a full-time job and joined Startup Salzburg’s SHAPE programme in September 2026.

Over roughly a month of research, I began exploring whether this workflow could become an offer for other founders. My own use is a starting point, not proof of market demand.

Questions before joining?
What is customer discovery for a startup?

Customer discovery means learning who has a problem, when it happens and how they deal with it today. Start with real experiences, record the source and compare evidence before deciding what to build. Virgiò helps organise this work in one research workspace.

How can I use AI for market research?

Use AI to prepare a research plan, organise source material, compare interview notes and draft follow-up questions. In Virgiò, configurable AI agents support those steps. You check the sources, speak with people and make the decisions; AI-generated conclusions alone are not market validation.

How do I find people for customer discovery interviews?

Choose communities, events or your network where your target customers already participate. Check their context, start with a relevant question and invite suitable people to a conversation. Virgiò helps structure this funnel; it does not provide a guaranteed panel or unrestricted channel access.

Can Virgiò help validate a startup idea before building an MVP?

It supports a Lean Startup approach: record an assumption, gather customer evidence and choose a small experiment. That could be a conversation, a questionnaire, a landing page or a prototype. Virgiò helps compare what you learned; interviews, signups and AI reports do not by themselves prove product–market fit.

Is this the real app?

The guided demo uses fictional people and example data. You can edit demo instructions, choose a channel, explore reports and compare evidence. The app snapshots are archived interface views; setup is a preview of the planned early-access flow. The live workspace supports saved research, evidence, hypotheses, segment comparisons, reports and a time-based priority view. The demo does not contact anyone or run live research.

How does the early-bird offer work?

Join the waitlist first. When invited, the planned offer gives you 14 days to try the early workspace on your own project, then the option to buy it for €74.99 in one payment. The planned launch price is €149.99. Joining does not start the trial, reserve a purchase or charge you. Full eligibility, access, tax and licence terms will be confirmed in your invitation.

Will I need a Virgiò subscription?

The planned early-bird workspace is a one-time purchase. Your supported ChatGPT account and any paid AI or data services are separate. Included updates, support and hosting duration will be confirmed before purchase; unlimited automation or lifetime hosting is not included in this promise.

Do I bring my own accounts?

The planned setup uses your supported ChatGPT account and any required external services. Their fees and usage limits are separate. Supported connections and setup steps will be confirmed before purchase; connecting an account does not guarantee access to every channel.

Does Virgiò do everything automatically?

You set the direction, conduct conversations and make decisions. Connected agents can assist with research and synthesis when access is available. Recommendations in the priority view come from saved records. Channel access, permissions and rules determine which external actions are possible.

What happens when I join?

Your email and optional research context are saved to the waitlist. You see confirmation on this page. We plan to email you when access and final terms are ready. Joining does not create an account, start a trial or charge you.
