⚡ 5 New Problems to Build a Startup | ProblemHunt

by•

  1. for a simple tool to track both personal and business finances in one place. Nothing fits.

  2. constantly need minor edits in the admin panel. They are forced to pay specialists for 5-minute tasks. We need an AI agent that does this on command in the browser.

  3. spends 20-30 hours manually «cold launching» each new product in directories, Reddit, and blogs. There is no tool that fully automates this and proves its effectiveness.

  4. loses in proposal competitions due to the inability to quickly create personalized and visual website concepts for each job order.

  5. owner is losing their audience without understanding the reasons for unsubscriptions. There is no simple tool for automatically collecting feedback from departed subscribers.

I love how these two platforms are complementing each other – you will spot the problem, people can build it and launch on Product Hunt or any other platfom :)

 Nika, I literally thought about the same thing just a few days ago, thank you! And what if someday Product Hunt integrates us into their platform (I’m hinting at them now) :DDD

 Soon, you will be acquired :D

 If this happens, I’ll hook you up — I promise 😄 🤝

 Deal! :D

We tried solving this years ago with an app that separates personal and business expenses by swiping but it became more work than it was worth. Turns out, having separate accounts is the simplest solution not just for staying organized, but also for IRS audit protection.

 Argel, thanks for sharing your experience! Maybe it can still be solved somehow, but at least I hope so :)

I think the most frustrating part is the marketing itself, since it takes time for the results to show up. In general, unlike what some newbies think, launching a startup is simple (which it indeed is), but generating ongoing revenue is not. For a startup to grow properly and enter a revenue-generating cycle, it takes a heck of a lot of patience and hard work.

 Hossein, I agree with you. Marketing is a really big problem right now that a startup has to overcome, especially without funding. But I think the most important thing at the beginning is to build what people really want. And then win marketing and everything else.

 100% agree!

I really like how niches these problems are! Reinforces the idea that niching is the way to go in the beginning. Which one surprised you the most while writing this list?

 Hi! Amazing observation, thanks for sharing it :)

To be honest, these problems haven’t surprised me much in recent months because I face different ones every day. BUT, I do have a personal favorite — it’s a problem I would really like to solve myself. It’s very painful, quite social, has a big market, and high willingness to pay:

The proposal one is interesting. There's different types of proposals. Financial, creative, etc... Both equally important. But the creative one is harder to get right.

We're trying to solve for that - but not so much from the proposal pov - but from an ideation pov.

 Hi! That’s great — I wish you success! :)

 Ditto! :D

Are you sure most existing solutions really solve someone’s problem well? 👀
