Stop wasting time searching for startup ideas

As an aspiring entrepreneur, I would struggle to find problems to solve and to come up with great startup ideas. I complained about the lack of tools entrepreneurs had and noticed that it was an extremely huge waste of time.

Thats why I built Preneur; a platform where entrepreneurs can find interesting problems to solve. Preneur aims to concentrate the precious time of entrepreneurs towards solving problems rather than searching for problems to solve.

Preneur is launching on the 25th October. You can join the waiting list to get notified of when we launch.

What is your marketing plan? How will the platform grow beyond the startup bubble?

On HN there's a question every other week, usually very few answers or unanswered. For example "Ask HN: What are problems HN users would like to solve" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33893427

The platform will grow beyond the bubble because Preneur offers a platform where entrepreneurs can focus on whats important. The startup bubble is due to startups gaining too high of a valuation, it is not due to a lack of problems to solve but rather due to a lack of entrepreneurs solving actual consumer problems.

Also, most of the times entrepreneurs think they are solving a problem that other people have. However this is rarely the case, thats why on Preneur you start with the problem that others are having. You can get in touch with them and showcase your proposed solution.

This is cool. I think another thing you can think of to add is maybe how to validate your product. When we were building Typogram (https://typogram.co/) it was one of the hardest thing to figure out.

Yeah, I am aiming to build a feature where Preneur allows entrepreneurs (who are solving the voted problem) to contact the people who have upvoted the problem (as they are experiencing it as well). This allows entrepreneurs to validate their product and to also get feedback from their early adopters.
