Validating a Product Idea While the Agency Pays the Bills
With Vesko Kolev, Icanpreneur
Show notes
About the show
Sumofied is the podcast where AppSumo founders meet agency owners. Host Drew Rattray scores every tool against the Agency Viability Score (AVS) rubric: whitelabel depth, multi-client management, reseller viability, integration flexibility, and roadmap confidence, so agency listeners know what's actually worth buying. Learn · Launch · Scale. Guest bio: Vesko Kolev is the founder of Icanpreneur, an AI co-founder platform that walks founders from "I have an idea" through customer validation, positioning, and the first version of a landing page and sales deck. Key quotes: "We don't help founders build faster. We help them pick the right direction and then accelerate." — Vesko Kolev
