Every founder hits that moment where they whisper to themselves:
“Is this actually a good idea or am I about to waste my time?”
That hesitation isn’t weakness, it’s data instinct. The best founders question their ideas early, then turn that uncertainty into evidence.
At Theanna, we built Build Mode to help founders do exactly that.
Build Mode is your command center for startup execution, it guides you through frameworks, check-ins, and AI-driven insights that tell you what to test next instead of leaving you guessing.
The result? Founders inside Theanna validate faster, build smarter, and pivot sooner when something’s off.
A “good” startup idea isn’t one that everyone likes, it’s one that solves something people will pay to fix.
In Theanna, we call this finding your Problem-Proof Fit — proof that real humans feel the pain your idea solves.
You don’t need 1,000 fans or a fancy prototype. You need three signals:
💬 “Good ideas aren’t obvious, they’re validated,” says Nomiki. “Theanna helps you see, in real time, whether your idea is hitting those three signals through our milestone check-ins.”
Inside Build Mode, you don’t just brainstorm you build with structure.
Each idea goes through a guided milestone flow that helps you prove whether it’s worth pursuing.
Here’s how founders use it to validate faster:
💬 “Build Mode eliminates the paralysis of ‘what do I do next?’” Nomiki says. “You open your dashboard, see your next milestone, and execute. No wasted weeks guessing.”
Validation doesn’t mean hiring developers or running ads — it means testing the core truth.
Here’s the step-by-step process founders follow inside Build Mode:
Your first milestone in Theanna is “Problem Validation.”
You’ll get a script and question template to talk to 10–15 people who might use your product.
The platform automatically stores and tags their feedback so patterns emerge quickly.
Use Lovable, Theanna’s no-code partner, to build a clickable mockup — no expensive developers needed.
Refine the testable solution using Build Mode and get it in front of your customers next.
Build Mode tells you exactly how to get your MVP in front of customers so you can test messaging and capture early signups.
When users join your waitlist, use Theanna to track your signup goals so you can track your progress and build momentum.
Every week, use Theanna’s traction board to track your work — showing your validation progress and what to focus on next.
🚀 This is why founders in Theanna move faster: they spend time testing ideas, not building spreadsheets.
One of the most common questions inside Build Mode is: “Should I be sharing this yet, or can someone copy me?”
Here’s the truth: Ideas aren’t stolen, they’re executed.
Still, Theanna gives founders process so they can get NDAs, IP assignments, and contractor agreements when you're ready to protect your work, you can without slowing down.
Our checklist for getting your business entitiy up and running is built right into your milestone flow — so every step from concept → collaboration → launch is covered.
Inside Build Mode, your validation doesn’t stop at “likes.”
We help you track pre-sales, waitlist conversions, and early payments as part of your milestone score.
Here’s how founders use it:
When your dashboard lights up with validated revenue milestones, you know your idea isn’t just good, it’s profitable.
“Revenue is truth,” Nomiki says. “Theanna turns that truth into data you can show to investors, mentors, or even yourself.”
When you’re in Build Mode, even a “failed” idea is forward motion.
Theanna automatically helps you pivot, showing which parts of your idea resonated and suggesting new directions based on community data.
You’ll see your next milestone appear automatically: “Reframe Your Problem Statement”.
You click it, answer new guided questions, and relaunch.
That’s how Theanna founders move 3x faster than founders working solo — because they never stop moving.
You don’t have to wonder if your idea is good—you can see the data.
When you work inside Theanna’s Build Mode, every action creates proof:
Founders who use Theanna’s frameworks don’t wait months for clarity — they get it in days.
If you’re sitting on an idea that won’t leave you alone, it’s time to test it the smart way.
👉 Join Theanna and use Build Mode to validate your startup idea, track progress, and get your first paying customers faster than you thought possible.
