Pain Point #1: "I have this idea where I want to create a community/platform for small (& big) content creators to be able to connect with each other and collaborate. This way they can grow, gain exposure, and build their popularity faster alongside other like-minded people since I don’t often see people collaborating unless they have a big following." Opportunity: A platform specifically designed for content creators to connect, collaborate, and share projects—addressing the issue of limited collaboration opportunities for smaller creators. Justification: - Demand: Many smaller creators feel isolated and struggle to gain visibility without collaboration opportunities. Repeated desires across platforms for non-giant creators to find ways to collaborate effectively show a clear market need. - ROI: Users should rapidly see an increase in their reach and engagement as they collaborate with peers, creating valuable content without needing massive budgets. - Scalable: This platform could run on simple connectivity APIs and can expand horizontally to different niches (e.g., artists, writers, musicians), each adding unique value and pushing network effects. - Purple Cow/Controversial: Unlike existing platforms that are overcrowded and cater to already-popular creators, this specific targeting and community-driven growth could rapidly attract the disenfranchised masses. --- Pain Point #2: "I'm a 19 yo college student...doing everything by myself...there is so many skills for me to learn... If I could find an expert that can help me...especially in electronics." Opportunity: Launch a platform that connects young and underfunded entrepreneurs with experts willing to mentor for equity stakes rather than immediate payment. Justification: - Demand: Frequent issues of young entrepreneurs lacking expertise and financial resources to hire skilled professionals. - ROI: By providing experts in exchange for equity, young entrepreneurs can bring products to market faster and start generating revenue without significant initial outlay. - Scalable: The model is replicable across industries and geographic locations, potentially scaling to a large network of startups and mentors. - Purple Cow/Controversial: The equity-for-mentorship model disrupts traditional consultancy; it’s a novel incentive structure that appeals to both mentors looking for long-term investment returns and startups needing expertise without upfront costs. --- Pain Point #3: "Booking platforms don’t give a shit about this. They’ve got a handful of filters. If you need anything beyond 'pet-friendly' or 'breakfast included,' you’re on the phone calling 30–50 hotels." Opportunity: An advanced hotel booking platform that utilizes extensive data points and user preferences to offer exact room matches, minimizing unnecessary bookings. Justification: - Demand: Frequent traveler dissatisfaction with current booking platforms' lack of nuanced filtering shows a clear pain, creating consistent value. - ROI: Immediate satisfaction due to precise bookings leading to fewer cancellations and customer complaints, effectively streamlining the travel planning process. - Scalable: As more data points and algorithms evolve, the platform can expand its reach and partnerships, including integrating other travel services. - Purple Cow/Controversial: Incorporating granular data down to the room detail, the AI-driven precision in hospitality is unique, shifting customer expectations in the hotel booking sector.
