⚡️ 5 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

  1. Georgia: A private breeder needs a platform to find trusted sellers who work for a commission. One helper at 10% commission already boosted sales. Need more people like that.

  2. USA: Need a super simple AI agent that learns by watching your screen and automates routine tasks. Existing solutions are complex or expensive. Willing to pay $10 30/month.

  3. Russia: A psychologist needs an advertising bot that analyzes her workload and automatically adjusts her ads. She is willing to pay for a solution and is open to discussing the details.

  4. Serbia: A photographer moving to the US needs clients. Platforms require reviews, agencies are expensive. Wants a website + ads that bring bookings. Willing to pay $100 300/month.

  5. We conducted research related to this problem "Managing Type 1 Diabetes Without AI Assistance." We found 23 people from different countries and spoke with each of them. They all confirmed that they experience this problem and that it is acute for them. We will try to prepare a document with all the details in the near future.

Guys, we are also currently in the process of relocating to another country due to the war in our country. This process takes a lot of time and energy, so our activity in finding problems for ProblemHunt has noticeably decreased, but we plan to resume it at the beginning of this fall. Thank you for staying with us.

The key insight we got while working on ProblemHunt 🦄

The key insight we got while working on ProblemHunt: a startup's success directly depends on the intensity of the pain it solves. Everything else is secondary. This is exactly what Paul Graham (YC founder) meant when he wrote about the importance of solving acute problems, not shallow ones.

ProblemHunt - Not startup ideas. Real problems.

Problem: the main reason startups fail is a lack of market need. 42% of startups built solutions that didn't solve real problems. Solution: we manually find people with unresolved problems they are willing to pay to solve.

⚡ 3 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

Hey Product Hunt

1. No simple, affordable credit layer to bridge payment processors with user balances developers rebuild credit tracking, consumption logic, and refunds for every app.

2. For 5 years, goods have been stolen from the office. There is no available service that automatically analyzes camera footage and sends alerts about suspicious activity.

3. Risk of a LinkedIn ban due to false positive bot detection. Official support is unhelpful. Need a tool that warns about suspicious activity to avoid losing 11,500 followers.

My problem: founders have no one to talk to when they're emotionally struggling.

1. Describe the problem:

I am a startup founder. My problem is periodic emotional burnout and a certain loneliness on this journey, especially when a project requires a long time and a huge amount of effort to get it off the ground to the first tangible results (on average, this takes 2-3 years).
During the "low points" (once every few months), there is no one to honestly and kindly discuss fear, uncertainty, difficulties, or failure with, without judgment. And at the same time, to get real emotional support to avoid abandoning my project, especially if it is promising.
I don't want to bother my wife and loved ones too much either, and my non-startup friends don't really understand my "pains." Existing communities and mentors solve business problems but don't provide the psychological support of a "brother in arms." I would like to have some kind of safe space for regular group calls where one can vent and get support from other founders.
Perhaps the solution should involve some sort of AI moderator that would facilitate the meetings and guide the entire group for the desired effect, and at the end of the meeting provide useful recommendations and assess the match between group participants.

1. Startup founders get lost in legal, accounting, and administrative tasks after incorporation, leading to stress and risks due to the lack of a clear, step-by-step plan.

2. The owner of a relaunched bar on the French coast cannot attract an audience in the evening due to the legacy of its past format (nightclub) and its isolated location.

⚡ Coming soon: validated problems for startups with a high chance of success.

Hey Product Hunt , for the past few months we've been working hard on a new type of publication. We called them Validated Problems .
Validated Problems are problems for which we find at least 20 real people who experience the same issue. We speak with each of them in person and uncover all the details needed to build a startup that is highly likely to be in demand and therefore successful.
Soon we'll publish the first Validated Problem on ProblemHunt.
Best regards,
Boris and Victoria
