Validation Done For You

Don’t have the time to do customer validation?

We provide an objective, expert pair of hands to collect evidence and execute your validation strategy.

Our Services

Need validation done for you? We deliver the research, interviews, experiments and analysis to you.

You get the evidence and recommendations.


Market Validation

Most founders waste months building products nobody wants. We use market and user research approaches. We run your entire customer discovery process: interviews, analysis, concept and willingness-to-pay testing, so you know whether to build, pivot, or stop before you've committed serious resources.

We handle recruitment, interviewing, and analysis. You receive data-driven customer segments, evidence-based pricing, competitive positioning, and a GO/NO-GO recommendation grounded in what your customers actually said.

For pre-seed founders who need validation but don't have time to run interviews themselves, or who've been getting feedback from the wrong people and need unbiased market evidence.

80% of startups fail to scale beyond early adopters because they think their initial sales approach will scale. We test distribution channels with prospects and partners, calculate actual CAC/LTV by channel, and tell you which routes to market deserve investment versus which will waste resources.

We conduct prospect interviews, evaluate partner economics, test customer acquisition strategies and channels, and build unit economics from evidence. You receive channel prioritisation backed by tested conversion data, partnership playbooks with commercial terms, and a roadmap for scaling beyond early adopters.

For seed-stage founders with product-market fit who need to prove commercial scalability, or who are making channel decisions based on guesswork rather than tested data.

GTM + Distribution Validation


We design pilots that can measure value and not just collect feedback.

We deliver the learning infrastructure: usability testing, stakeholder interviews, in-app data collection, and commercial validation. Your pilot becomes a structured experiment that reveals what drives adoption, what pricing works, and how to close your first paying customer.

For founders who want their pilots to generate evidence and be more likely to convert to revenue, not get stuck in perpetual "testing."

  • "We deployed Dr Chloe Sharp to undertake two major research projects for our group of businesses. The team managed to glean insights that have been instrumental in steering our direction on a path that is wholly differentiated and giving us the edge on our competition, hands down. The complexity of our industry was captured and crystallised into bite-sized chunks that were easy to digest across a number of key functions, meaning that we were able to proactively take the critical recommendations and integrate them into our business model seamlessly. If you are looking for a fresh approach to market research that delivers real value, then I would thoroughly recommend choosing Sharp Insight."

    — Jonathan Crosby, Marketing Manager, Redstone Connect

  • "Moses hadn't used user research before this project to develop one of our in-house projects. I was really surprised and intrigued by the insights that Dr Chloe Sharp had found for us. She really challenged our assumptions and gave us something concrete to work with when iterating the Alpha product, based on evidence. We felt reassured that the iterations of the product are in line with user needs and our future product roadmap is based on evidence rather than assumptions. In the future, we'll certainly do user research again as we gained so much from it."

    — Terry Yoell, Founder, Moses

  • "Dr Chloe Sharp's work has been invaluable in helping us assess and understand our market opportunity better and provided a level of professional support that we could never have imagined receiving in advance. I very much look forward to their continued support and expertise as we develop new products and widen our market."

She designed and delivered research that gave us clear, actionable insights into how older people navigate our site to find key information.
