⚡ 4 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

1. 5 partners 5 different CV templates. Managers spend 20 40 minutes on each adaptation, up to 15 times a week. Over a year of this routine. No ready-made solutions found.

2. Healthcare professionals want AI for diagnosis, documentation, and patient care but training doesn't scale and tools feel too technical. Need a simple, clinically relevant path.

🦄 ProblemHunt changes its strategy and launches monetization

1. Recently, several small bloggers have talked about ProblemHunt: a few from the USA, a few from Spain, and one from France. And we noticed an obvious thing: traffic from these countries, although not much, has started to grow.

2. But the most important thing is that people from these countries have started sharing problems more actively. For example, in the last month alone, France has already submitted 4 problems, three of which were published yesterday and today.

Get 1% equity in a startup just by sharing your problem? It has become a reality!

Guys, over the past 3.5 months, we encountered one significant problem at ProblemHunt:

  1. Many contributors who shared problems aren't very motivated to provide feedback to developers for various reasons. Even among those willing to give feedback, not everyone agrees to work with more than 3 5 different developers (for context: currently, one contributor receives messages from 7 15 people on average). And without quality feedback, it s difficult to clarify all the details and build a great product.

  2. To solve this problem, we talked to some of the contributors and found out: they are willing to provide feedback much more actively if they can receive 1% equity in the future startup. According to them, this would give them strong motivation to help with advice and actively participate in testing.

  3. Therefore, we decided to run an experiment over the next few months. Now, in the problem submission form, contributors can optionally indicate that they want to receive 1% equity in the future startup. And we will mention this in the publication for you.

  4. By the way, if you currently have a problem and also want to get 1% equity in a future startup, you can seize this opportunity right now on ProblemHunt!
