Questions

We are in the process of validating our startup idea with the target users of our platform. They are mainly people in apprenticeship (technical). We want to provide them with a free service while generating revenue from company paying to access the service. Since the product is free for the apprentices, what question/strategy would you use to see if they have real intent to use the service? When the product is meant to be sold, there are strategies where you try to close a sale. But in the case of free product, how do you do or what question would you ask?

I think it would be as simple as asking questions about whether apprentices are having issues finding an apprenticeship or getting experience. You also have to ask the businesses that you are attracting to pay if they have problems finding apprentices. Make sure you do ample research on what already exists out there because this could speed up your market fit by essentially copying what others have built, and building on what is wrong with the platforms.
