Boris and Victoria,
ProblemHunt

Hey Product Hunt , for the past few months we've been working hard on a new type of publication. We called them Validated Problems .
Validated Problems are problems for which we find at least 20 real people who experience the same issue. We speak with each of them in person and uncover all the details needed to build a startup that is highly likely to be in demand and therefore successful.
Soon we'll publish the first Validated Problem on ProblemHunt.
Best regards,
Boris and Victoria

Friends, thanks to your support, ProblemHunt took 3rd place in the Product of the Day race!

1. The race featured exactly 222 products, including: ChatGPT Atlas by OpenAI, XMind with over 100 million users, the much-talked-about Manus AI, and many other strong competitors. Admittedly, it wasn't easy. But thanks to our close-knit, responsive, and friendly community, we managed to break into the top 3. This genuinely inspires us and gives us energy to actively develop ProblemHunt for you. From the bottom of our hearts thank you to each and every one of you!

We weren't accepted into Y Combinator with our ProblemHunt. But I know a guy who got accepted this time. And he made 11 attempts. We'll try to do that too.

1. Describe the problem:

I am a startup founder. My problem is periodic emotional burnout and a certain loneliness on this journey, especially when a project requires a long time and a huge amount of effort to get it off the ground to the first tangible results (on average, this takes 2-3 years).
During the "low points" (once every few months), there is no one to honestly and kindly discuss fear, uncertainty, difficulties, or failure with, without judgment. And at the same time, to get real emotional support to avoid abandoning my project, especially if it is promising.
I don't want to bother my wife and loved ones too much either, and my non-startup friends don't really understand my "pains." Existing communities and mentors solve business problems but don't provide the psychological support of a "brother in arms." I would like to have some kind of safe space for regular group calls where one can vent and get support from other founders.
Perhaps the solution should involve some sort of AI moderator that would facilitate the meetings and guide the entire group for the desired effect, and at the end of the meeting provide useful recommendations and assess the match between group participants.

1. Startup founders get lost in legal, accounting, and administrative tasks after incorporation, leading to stress and risks due to the lack of a clear, step-by-step plan.

2. The owner of a relaunched bar on the French coast cannot attract an audience in the evening due to the legacy of its past format (nightclub) and its isolated location.

1. The lack of a service that creates hyper-personalized, gamified English courses (in the Duolingo format) for narrow professional niches (e.g., for a barista in a vegan coffee shop or a startup founder.

2. Automating cross-posting of an indie hacker's technical content across multiple platforms (Twitter, LinkedIn, Product Hunt) while adhering to each platform's best practices.

I know it isn't just me because I have a number of LCNC friends who, like me, won't even open Stripe before first opening ChatGPT or something similar to guide me through the maze that is Stripe.
Here's me, having just downloaded Claude Cowork, really doubtful that it is going to make any difference with the seven stuck projects I have in Stripe...

1. No way for city residents to order delivery from local stores to their elderly relatives in remote villages.

2. It's difficult for parents of newborns in India to organize vaccination: there is no service for easy doctor search and a turnkey process provision.

3. Solar installation companies lack a platform for end-to-end tracking of a customer's project from sale to official approval, causing complaints and dissatisfaction.

1. Global problem: Dating apps fail for complex lives (illness, relocation, unfulfilled youth). A platform is needed for matching based on life path compatibility.

2. Daily routine: after every client meeting, I need to write a structured report for colleagues. Existing corporate tools (Microsoft 365) are inefficient and slow for this.

3. A startup founder loses focus and productivity juggling 5-7 tools for a single project. Existing all-in-one platforms don't provide the feel of a unified workspace.

4. An African entrepreneur cannot accept international payments on Shopify. PayPal blocks, Stripe is unavailable. There is no payment gateway that does not discriminate based on geography.

5. Micro-influencer cannot monetize a loyal audience: there is no safe and effective platform for deals with small brands and those willing to work with small influencers in India.
