Your AI Co-Founder for Market Research, Competitor Analysis & Startup Validation
Killswitch is an AI startup idea validator that evaluates your idea across four critical dimensions: founder-market fit, willingness to pay, momentum, and execution risk. These scores combine into a clear verdict — pursue, pivot, or kill — so you can focus on what actually matters.
Open-source startup idea validator for Claude Code. Tells you if your idea is DEAD, ALIVE or INSUFFICIENT_DATA: research agents with verified quotes, a kill-cause scout for dead competitors and free substitutes, an independent judge, and the cheapest test to run before you build. Runs in your own Claude Code, no extra API keys.
