If you think all great ideas are taken already.
You are just not paying attention enough.
Here’s how I got my painkiller Saas idea just by browsing online.
I found a viral post introducing people to HARO.
So did 11k other people.
But one comment underneath caught my eye.
“The only problem I find with them is that now they send me 4 emails per day every day, and I sincerely read like 1-2 per week.”
That’s a clear problem needing a solution.
So, I came up with an idea of using AI to solve this particular problem for this particular person.

I built it, validated it, launched it. Now I have 50+ signups and closing in on $100 MRR.
Don’t just scroll.
Pay attention. Listen. Keep note.
Address a pain point.
You might just find your next big idea.

      inside each email you get a list of 10+ things too, so we reduce it down to 1 or 2 that make sense, if it’s 0 then we skip the email

    Is this the first business idea you made a product for? Do you have a background in AI?

    This is obvious if you’re around for more than a couple of years.

    I’m 40, so I can tell you that everyone thought (and often said) that “all the best ideas have already been invented” before:

    • ChatGPT
    • TikTok
    • Instagram
    • Facebook
    • Social Media
    • Netflix
    • Youtube
    • The internet

Well done on turning that insight into a successful venture! 👏💡 #Innovation #EntrepreneurialSpirit

    that’s why we love the idea of boring businesses.

    businesses that solve day to day problems.

    ideas are cheap, they say, but we think ideas are important, if you choose to work on something nobody is willing to pay, it is essentially costing you the most valuable asset, which is your time.

    Looks like you did it right. Most people launch then validate after, typically a recipe for disaster.

    Validation is also the most time consuming part of building a biz and it’s where people tend to fall off. You’re spot on though. address the pain point for direction but throw in some patience for longevity.
