The Way Most People Generate Startup Ideas is Backwards.
The Way Most People Generate Startup Ideas is Backwards.
Hello,
Aron here.
Most startup ideas start the wrong way. A trend, a hot market, a “wouldn’t it be cool if…” moment. Our data shows that’s one of the weakest ways to start.
The founders who move forward fastest start somewhere else:
a customer they understand
an industry they know
a problem they’ve seen

Only 13% of founders clearly define their customer.
Most say “people” or “small businesses”, which creates uncertainty at every step.

67% of ideas have unclear distribution.
This is the most common red flag we see.
Ideas stall when founders are too far from the problem.
The fix is simple:
Start with an industry you already understand
Identify a customer you already know
Focus on a problem you’ve actually seen
Use your specific advantage
Founders who do this move faster and with more confidence.
That’s exactly why we rebuilt our idea generator.
It starts with your industry, your edge, your customer, and the problem. Then it generates ideas that actually fit and scores them based on market signals.
