⚔ 5 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

Global problem: Dating apps fail for complex lives (illness, relocation, unfulfilled youth). A platform is needed for matching based on life path compatibility. Daily routine: after every client meeting, I need to write a structured report for colleagues. Existing corporate tools (Microsoft 365) are inefficient and slow for this. A startup founder loses focus and productivity juggling 5-7 tools...

Are you sure most existing solutions really solve someone’s problem well? šŸ‘€

1. Guys, I’ve been noticing more and more often in the comments something along these lines: Ā«This problem was solved many years ago, here’s a solution I found on Google in 1 minuteĀ». 2.

For example, for one of the problems on PH that I wanted to solve, I found at...

A 3-year search for a simple tool to track both personal and business finances in one place. Nothing fits. Website owners constantly need minor edits in the admin panel. They are forced to pay specialists for 5-minute tasks. We need an AI agent that does this on command in the browser.

Are the best startups built on boring problems?

I came to exactly the same conclusion that real startup ideas often come from Ā«simple and boringĀ» problems. From my own experience: I spent three years on a startup that was supposed to Ā«revolutionizeĀ» online education, but in the end it had 0 users. Now I’ve just started solving a simple problem for home appliance repair technicians and immediately got my first paying users on a very rough MVP.

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.

⚔ 6 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

Need an AI «Jarvis» that turns chaotic voice/text updates into automatically structured tasks, projects, and dashboards for managing all of life and work. Hours of manual searching for parts for Chinese cars. Need an AI agent that understands queries from photos or text and finds the part. Online clothes shopping is a lottery. There's no accessible technology to see how an item will fit your...
