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!

Problem Analysis: Can SaaS replace a fractional CMO for small B2B growth?

1. Problem Breakdown from the Moderator:

A detailed description of a systemic pain point in the B2B segment has come to ProblemHunt. This is not a classic user request but rather an analysis from a consultant. We can't publish it as a standard problem, but it's too profound to ignore. Let's examine it as a case study. Before publication, all unnecessary information was removed while preserving the important details and essence.

⚡ New «Ancient» Problem | ProblemHunt

It would seem that this problem is an ancient one, but it still has not been properly resolved. Given that attention span in people is truly gaining serious momentum, a solution to this problem could come in very handy.

From a Problem on ProblemHunt to a Real Success 🚀

Guys, a couple of hours ago, the author of this problem, which he published on ProblemHunt about four months ago, wrote. Here is the essence of his message:

 Hello! We've partnered with one of the market leaders in our segment. We had negotiations today we're integrating into their ecosystem for mutual growth and development. Soon our solution will be available to their audience. We did it! 

This isn't a unicorn story. Rather, it's an example of a sustainable micro-SaaS for a niche audience and a local market. Although who knows?

Tell about your product on ProblemHunt and get free additional traffic

Guys, if you've created a product based on a problem from ProblemHunt and got your first users, you can tell about your product in our community and on the website for free. I can't promise huge traffic: the site has gotten 25k+ visitors in the last 1.5 months, but maybe this will help someone attract some additional traffic. For that, just write me the product name, a brief description, the target audience, and a link here: gostroverhovb@gmail.com

Sell Validated Problems for $500–$10k 🦄

Guys, ProblemHunt has formed an international community of developers (mainly from USA, India, Russia, UK, France, Germany, and other countries) who are looking for startup ideas based on real problems. We find and share different people's problems with them, and the community is now growing rapidly.

Currently, all problems are published publicly and for free. However, they are published without validation: no confirmation that the problem truly exists, that others experience it too, and no check of willingness to pay. There's also no market sizing, target audience profile, or clear description of a solution that could and should be developed.

If there are any product managers among you who can handle this, you could sell deeply researched and validated problems to our developers. According to our estimates, there should be an average of 5 7 developers ready to buy each such problem. The price for one such problem could range from $500 to $10,000 depending on its potential.

🦄 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.
