Pain Point #1: "Is Google still the place to find products that solve problems? Or has ChatGPT quietly taken over?... If users are *asking* LLMs instead of *searching* the web, how do you make your product discoverable in this new landscape? Tried to find information but it seems there is no standard process."

Opportunity: Develop a comprehensive platform or service for “LLM SEO” to enable businesses to have their products or services recommended by language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

Justification:
- Demand: Increasing reliance on AI-based language models for search needs, as described by users who have shifted away from traditional search engines like Google.
- ROI: Businesses will quickly see increased visibility and user engagement as they become searchable through LLMs, potentially reducing the need for expensive traditional advertising.
- Scalable: The service can grow as more businesses acknowledge the dominance of AI models in influencing purchasing decisions.
- Purple Cow/Controversial: As it's a new avenue (LLM SEO being less explored), entering early could create a unique market advantage. It's controversial as it challenges the dominance of traditional SEO.

Pain Point #2: "After recent launch day my inbox looks like a mix of user feedback and people offering their services, but there was also this one message that really hit me... if my startup doesn't have a free trial (or freemium plan) I have to communicate the real value of the product way better on the landing page or in any educational content."

Opportunity: Create a “Freemium Model Consultation Agency” that helps startups re-design product offerings to include effective freemium tiers or free trials to better communicate value and drive user acquisition.

Justification:
- Demand: Startups struggling to convert potential users due to lack of upfront value demonstration, as seen by the Reddit user's realization.
- ROI: By implementing effective freemium strategies, startups can see rapid increases in user sign-ups and engagement, which could lead to substantial long-term revenue growth.
- Scalable: Standardized processes can be developed to assist any digital product business aiming to improve its customer acquisition funnel.
- Purple Cow/Controversial: While not traditionally controversial, there is unique value in helping startups design ethically sustainable freemiums, driving loyalty and improved conversion rates as ventures shift focus from short-term gains to long-haul customer relationships.

Pain Point #3: "We're running into major delays when trying to get documents notarized for cross-border startup operations... Has anyone figured out a smoother or fully remote way to handle notarizations for official paperwork?"

Opportunity: Launch a fully remote notarization platform that simplifies international document notarization for startups. It should cater especially to EU and global legal standards.

Justification:
- Demand: Evident frustration with current notarization processes that are slow and inefficient, particularly for international documentation.
- ROI: Immediate time and cost savings for startups by reducing the need for in-person appointments and speeding up company formation and other legal processes.
- Scalable: The platform can serve businesses worldwide, particularly those engaged in cross-border operations that constantly face such bureaucratic hurdles.
- Purple Cow/Controversial: The idea is controversial as it seeks to modernize a traditionally rigid and bureaucratic process, challenging existing regulatory processes by harnessing technology to cut through red tape.
