### Pain Point #1:
"I cannot pay the people who work with me, and cannot reach a wider audience. What's a solution to this?"

Opportunity: Establish a cooperative content creation and distribution platform that pools creators’ resources and audiences to provide wider reach and monetization options without upfront costs.

Justification:
- Demand: Startups, especially in creative and media industries, face distribution and monetization problems. This is evident from high school founders struggling to grow their journal due to funding constraints.
- ROI: Content creators can instantly broaden their audience and potential revenue streams by leveraging shared tools without direct investment, leading to quicker potential earnings.
- Scalable: As more creators join, the platform's visibility, network effects, and attractiveness to investors grow, fostering virtually limitless potential.
- Purple Cow/Controversial: By democratizing media distribution and concentrating creative assets, this solution challenges traditional media giants and transforms the economic model for creators worldwide by emphasizing collaboration over competition.

### Pain Point #2:
"The cheap manual capsule-filling machines that we can easily afford ($35-$800) are INCREDIBLY time-consuming to use. On the other hand, the really efficient automatic capsule-filling machines cost around $15,000 minimum, which is too expensive to justify at our current size."

Opportunity: Launch a mid-range semi-automatic capsule-filling machine tailored for small-scale supplement businesses.

Justification:
- Demand: Health and wellness sector is booming, with small businesses needing efficient yet affordable production solutions.
- ROI: Dramatic reduction in labor costs and increased production velocity for small to mid-sized businesses by reducing hours spent on manual labor.
- Scalable: Market is global as supplement manufacturing is popular in North America, Europe, and Asia, with potential expansion into similar small-scale production industries.
- Purple Cow/Controversial: Fills a glaring gap in the market between manual and expensive fully automatic options, providing the best of both worlds for startup health product manufacturers.

### Pain Point #3:
"I run a bagel bakery at home and I wish there was a system for my clients to browse the menu and preorder (and leave an address/phone for delivery) and maybe even pay for their stuff. Delivery apps like UberEats are not an option because those work by immediate dispatch and I can only bake with a couple of days of anticipation."

Opportunity: Create a pre-order and batch production platform specifically for home-based and small-time food producers.

Justification:
- Demand: With the rise in home restaurants and bespoke bakeries, there's an urgent need for systems catering to pre-scheduled production and delivery, rather than immediate dispatch models like Uber Eats.
- ROI: Facilitates businesses in capturing demand efficiently and ensuring production matches confirmed demand, minimizing waste and enhancing profitability.
- Scalable: This can be expanded regionally and then nationwide, incorporating multiple food product categories such as baked goods, desserts, and homemade meals.
- Purple Cow/Controversial: A niche service not offered by major delivery apps, branding itself as a supporter of artisanal and home-based culinary businesses.
