⚡ 10 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

1. The lack of a service that creates hyper-personalized, gamified English courses (in the Duolingo format) for narrow professional niches (e.g., for a barista in a vegan coffee shop or a startup founder.

2. Automating cross-posting of an indie hacker's technical content across multiple platforms (Twitter, LinkedIn, Product Hunt) while adhering to each platform's best practices.

3. The monthly headache of being remote tech support for elderly relatives who constantly need help with the same computer problems.

4. Searching for direct hotel contacts to book without overpaying to aggregators, which markup prices by 15-30%.

5. A beginner in online business needs not a course, but a personalized AI guide that will create and lead them through an individual step-by-step plan.

6. A pre-check of the approval chances for a construction project with the Australian council before making significant investments.

7. Users of credit products regularly overpay due to non-transparent bank terms. There is no advocate service that would analyze their spending and find hidden fees.

8. Search for a controlled and stable channel for attracting clients to a banquet hall, as an alternative to unpredictable social media advertising.

9. Marketing directors and founders have nowhere to find verified contractors (targeting specialists, SMM managers) — the existing search process is a lottery that wastes time and budget.

10. It's impossible to donate to animal shelters due to complete distrust in charity fundraisers. There is no service with guaranteed transparency and audit.

Adding regarding problem number 9: two similar problems have already been published on ProblemHunt. I recommend paying attention to it. 😊

And also, for problem number 4, there was a similar problem on ProblemHunt earlier. The essence is almost the same.

And for problem number 5, there was also a similar one on ProblemHunt.

5 can be possibly executed very fast. It just needs a good programmer who can crete something like that :D

@busmark_w_nika To be honest, I don't really believe this can be solved at all, because you need to take so much context into account (1000+ pitfalls to avoid when creating a successful business). But if someone does manage to solve this problem — they'll surely get rich :D

I like the roundup, especially the part with checking odds for construction projects -it’ll save a ton of time!

@misha___mavrin Misha, glad you liked it! Hope it'll also be useful when building your new startup :)

I like 10 and it seems like an easy to build platform that will have the ability to be the standard for many markets and have high impact. Strait forward what needs to be built and probably a monopoly because there is no reason for a second player.

@lucky_plant If you can do it, it will be awesome! 🦄
