Why I built this in Latin America"

Hey Product Hunt 👋

I'm Ricardo or Richi for my friends, and I'm launching Nixplora next Tuesday, April 28.

Here's the honest version of why I built it.

Most startup validation tools were designed in Silicon Valley, for Silicon Valley. They assume you have access to clean market data, that your benchmarks come from the US, and that your competitive landscape looks like TechCrunch. That works great if you're building in San Francisco.

It doesn't work if you're building in Santiago, Bogotá, or Mexico City — where market data is fragmented, currency fluctuates, regulation changes faster, and the cost of getting it wrong is much higher because there's less capital to absorb the mistake.

So I built Nixplora there. In the hard market. That constraint forced us to build something more rigorous than what you get from a generic AI tool.

Here's what Nixplora does:

→ 4 specialized AI agents in sequence: Scout (real market signals) → Forge (3 versions of your idea at different investment levels) → Validate (cross-referenced against 199 documented startup failures) → Map (financial projections with Monte Carlo simulation)

→ Localized for 20+ Latin American markets — local currency, local competitors, local regulatory context

→ Epistemic labeling: every claim in the output is tagged as [FACT], [INFERENCE], or [HYPOTHESIS]. You always know what's verified and what's an assumption.

What's coming next:

US, Canada, and UK market data are currently in beta. If you're building outside LATAM and want early access, drop a comment — I'm actively expanding the dataset.
