The Mom Test

The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick is a practical entrepreneurship and startup book that teaches founders, creators, and business owners how to talk to customers effectively and gather honest feedback about business ideas. The book explains why many entrepreneurs ask the wrong questions and receive misleading praise instead of useful insights.

The title comes from the idea that even supportive people — including your mom — may tell you your idea is great simply to encourage you, not because they would actually buy the product. Rob Fitzpatrick shows how to ask better questions that uncover real customer problems, behaviors, and needs.

The Mom Test also explores topics such as customer validation, startups, product development, entrepreneurship, communication, market research, sales, and business strategy. Through practical examples and simple frameworks, the book helps readers avoid false assumptions and build products people genuinely want.
