I’m Shubham, the maker of Helix, and I’m beyond excited to share this with you! 🚀 The best products aren’t built in one go, they evolve. 🚀
Many founders make the mistake of jumping straight into development, only to realize at launch that it's not what users actually want. The reality? Ideas don’t come fully formed. They improve as you go through the cycle of IDEATE → DESIGN → TEST → ITERATE.
This loop is the key to makingsomething people want. Every iteration brings new insights, helping you refine both the product and the problem it solves. fn7 Helix makes this process faster, so you can validate, refine, and build with confidence before investing months.
Our mission? To empower every founder to bring their idea to life. Whether you're validating an idea, pitching to investors, or gathering user feedback, Helix helps you move forward with confidence.
We’d love to hear your thoughts! What’s the biggest challenge you face when turning an idea into reality? Drop a comment below! 💡
We love that "one developer" problem framing! You've hit on a key point - in the very beginning, sometimes it feels like you're trying to build the whole world with just a hammer and nails. 😂
That's exactly why we built fn7 Helix. We want to empower founders to get those initial ideas out of their heads and into something tangible, evenbefore they have a full team or dedicated developer onboard. It's all about fast validation and learning in those crucial early stages.
Thanks so much for the congrats and the well wishes! Really appreciate you checking out fn7 Helix! 🙏
Finally, someone is making prototyping less painful! As a founder, I truly appreciate tools that simplify the process and let us focus on the big picture. fn7 Helix looks like it nails this. Thank you for building this! 🙌
Thanks so much for your kind words! You totally get what we're aiming for with fn7 Helix. We built it because, honestly, we felt the pain ourselves! So many great ideas get stuck in the "prototype too hard" phase. We wanted to create something that truly empowers founders to quickly validate their vision and keep that momentum going. Really appreciate you recognising that! 🙏 Let us know if you have any feedback as you start using it! 😊
Thank you so much! Your comment really brightened our day! It's been a long journey – we’ve poured over 10,000 hours into fn7 Helix, fueled by a passion to help founders like ourselves and you.
To make sure we were building something truly valuable, we spoke with over 300 founders, designers, and PMs, learning firsthand about the struggles of turning ideas into reality. fn7 Helix is a direct result of those conversations and that dedication. We're so grateful you see the usefulness in it. Thanks for the support!
Yep indeed! We made Helix by talking to over 400+ founders & spent time with many on their MVP journeys. Just to understand how can we make founders succeed faster.
And the sauce is in order to succeed fast you just need to fail even faster (shorter cycles) learn from everything, & iterate religiously.
Glad this resonated with you! I know things might be busy on your end, but I’d love for you to try Helix and share your feedback. Looking forward to hearing about your experience! ✨
fn7 Helix is a total game-changer! 🚀 Taking an idea from concept to an investor-ready prototype in 3 minutes is exactly what early-stage founders need.
Interactive prototypes can make all the difference in validating ideas and achieving a product-market fit.
fn7 Helix makes this process seamless and quick ! 🔥👏
Whether you're shaping an idea, pitching investors, or collecting user feedback, fn7 Helix keeps you moving forward.
Our approach is hands-on, focusing on real-world execution rather than just theory.
Skip the guesswork. Start building with fn7 Helix. 🚀
💡 Would love to hear about your experience with fn7 Helix !!
This hits home, Shubham! Too many founders skip the iteration cycle and end up building for assumptions rather than real user needs. Love that Helix is making it easier to validate, refine, and de-risk ideas before going all in.
Congrats on the launch!
Best wishes and sending lots of wins to the team :) @shubham_pancholi
Thank you so much for your insightful comment and the upvote! We really appreciate you recognizing the core value of fn7 Helix – empowering founders to prioritize validation and iteration early on.
You're spot on; skipping this crucial cycle can lead to building on assumptions, a challenge we saw many founders facing firsthand. That's precisely why we built Helix: to make de-risking ideas and iterating rapidly accessible to everyone, especially in the early stages. We believe that every founder deserves the chance to test and refine their vision before investing heavily in development.
Knowing you're in the product and growth space at Shram, your feedback means a lot. Thanks again for your support and best wishes! We're sending wins your way too! ✨
Idea in head -> frustration in communicating it. Story of every founder! 🤯 fn7 Helix finally solves this. And to make it tooo good to be true, it does it in 3mins. If I can actually get a prototype in minutes, this is HUGE.
Whether it be communicating with your own co founders, or your customers, Helix makes it easy
Advantages of iterating with Helix:
Shorter feedback cycles
Making it work really well for 10 people
Effective communication of vision
User testing before wasting resources.
Investor ready prototypes
What’s the biggest challenge you face when working on your idea? Drop a comment below!
Have a startup idea? Helix turns it into an investor-ready prototype in just minutes. With functional, clickable UI/UX designs, you can bring your vision to life—no design skills required!
This is a game-changer for founders looking to validate ideas fast and impress investors with real, interactive prototypes. 🎉 Kudos to the team for making product prototyping effortless and lightning-fast! 🙌
So many startups struggle with validating their ideas early enough. Being able to create investor-ready prototypes in minutes could save a lot of time and effort.
Absolutely on point! Validating and refining an idea happens with the base core of deep ideation, something Helix is designed to simplify. Glad this resonated with you! I’d love for you to try Helix and share your feedback. Looking forward to hearing about your experience!
We built fn7 Helix specifically because we saw so many founders pouring their heart and soul (and savings!) into ideas that hadn't been properly validated. The pain of building something nobody wants is real, and we wanted to provide a solution.
Oh brave new world! Design in three minutes? What will be in your next version? Will you read my mind and do design in three seconds? It's a blast! Best of luck with your launch!
Our next vision is to take things even further, launching a prototype you built on Helix as an MVP in minutes. Imagine going from idea to a functional MVP faster than ever and iterating as you do deep ideation with just a piece of text.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 Helix looks like a game-changer for early-stage founders. Excited to see how it helps turn ideas into reality. Wishing you success!
@antony_stewart Thanks Antony, the next version, definitely resolves the cons 1 & 2. We're fine with the UX design. We're currently in the user testing phase. So I would say it's just around the corner.
@adriadna_mascioli You can definitely share the prototype with your users for feedback. However, collecting feedback directly within Helix isn't supported yet—but it's on our roadmap and will be rolling out in an upcoming release soon!
Regardless of the prototype’s outcome, which is impressive in itself, even just the process of inputting the idea and the following steps are extremely helpful for an initial form of validation. There is potential.
Glad you see the potential. Even our waitlist users are loving it and sharing great feedback and their experience! We'd love to keep improving, any feedback on how we can make it even better?
@niveditha_patluri I used it by inputting a brief I had prepared and had previously used to present an idea to a designer. As I mentioned, I found the wizard part stimulating. I think it’s an essential step for Helix to properly define and refine the prototype, but I also see it as a great tool for validating the idea itself. The questions it asks help you understand whether the direction you have in mind is the right one.
The prototype part is also well-designed. I can modify the flows and the layout, which is already a great feature.
If I had to point out some concerns, I’d say I find it a bit difficult to navigate between the different screens of the various flows. In my test, for example, in the design view and the flow, I see pages that I can’t access from the prototype. Another issue, along the same lines, is that I end up with duplicated screens in the flow, but with different descriptions. For example, I have a page for editing an entity, and I see multiple instances of it in the flow, but they all display the same screen. This might also be the reason why I can’t access subsequent pages from the prototype.
So perhaps making the connections between buttons/elements that link to different pages more visible could be helpful.
Yes! AI for prototyping, turning ideas into interactive prototypes in minutes. The real magic lies in enabling deep ideation, helping you refine and iterate effortlessly. Excited for you to check it out, would love to hear your thoughts! ☺️

@mikita_aliaksandrovich
Thanks, Mikita!
Helix is built to make idea-to-prototype effortless, would love for you to give it a try!
Also, Wishing you all the best for your upcoming launch!
Tried it out! One word: awesome!
Pros:
It takes less than 3mins tbh
The questions it asks are pure gold
The flows make it clear to process & extend the functionality of the app.
Considers Multi sided platforms, which is one factor that surprised me!
Cons:
The navigation is a little confusing. The UI felt a little cluttered.
Help or guides would be great for finding out the required options
I initially wanted to create a desktop prototype. I assume you're planning for it.
Here's the prototype I generated, feel free to explore here
@shubham_pancholi congrats on the launch & here's some quick feedback. Great work by the way!
