Pain Point #1: "I spent $70k on my bachelor in Europe. Now I started my first SaaS business and learn everything from 16 year olds on twitter and Reddit. Honestly, how is this education system even surviving?" Opportunity: Create a subscription-based online platform that offers real-world, project-based learning for aspiring entrepreneurs, with mentorship from successful startup founders and real-time workshops with investors.

This also increases their chances of success and securing funding. - Scalable: The platform can continually update content and accommodate a growing number of users globally without needing significant new infrastructure. - Purple Cow/Controversial: Challenges the traditional education model by positioning itself as an alternative to costly university programs, potentially disrupting higher education for startups. --- Pain Point #2: "Agencies aren’t meant to replace marketing leadership. They’re meant to execute on a plan. But without a clear strategy in place..." Opportunity: A strategic marketing mentorship service that pairs startups with experienced marketing strategists before they hire an agency. Justification: - Demand: Frustrations with marketing agencies are evident, with a need for better preparatory strategy. - ROI: Helps businesses save money by ensuring efficient agency use and better campaign outcomes, visible through increased sales and optimized marketing spend. - Scalable: The service can scale by leveraging a network of freelance strategists, eventually expanding to a subscription model with ongoing strategic updates. - Purple Cow/Controversial: Unlike typical marketing agencies, this focuses solely on pre-agency strategic planning, an often-overlooked step that sets foundational success. --- Pain Point #3: "It's like the high school nerds who suddenly run the world and don’t know how to handle it. Why are they this way?" Opportunity: A specialized business etiquette and personal branding service targeted at tech entrepreneurs, helping them polish their public personas and navigate public relations more effectively. Justification: - Demand: Growing social media discourse around tech moguls' awkward public personas suggests there's an appetite for refinement and guidance in public-facing behavior. - ROI: Entrepreneurs can quickly improve their public perception, attracting more positive press and potential investment. - Scalable: Services and workshops can be offered both online and in-person globally, allowing them to cater to a larger audience without borders. - Purple Cow/Controversial: Tackles the often-ignored topic of 'soft skills' for tech billionaires, offering a polished image in a world focused more on technical prowess.
