It’s obviously easier to start a venture when you already have a clear idea in mind. But in reality, a lot of people that want to be founders are the opposite: they’re eager to start something new, and only then go looking for a real problem to solve.
I’ve been asked many times by friends: “I want to build a startup, but I don’t know what problem to solve.”
Yes, there are ideas and complaints scattered across Reddit, Twitter, forums, etc., but there doesn’t seem to be one focused place where pain points and solutions directly meet.
SolveMyPainPoint lets you:
• Submit a pain point in a structured way (what’s the problem, how painful, which category).
• See if others share the same issue and how they experience it.
• Add or discover existing solutions/products when they exist.
• Spot unsolved problems that might be worth building for.
It’s a scrappy side project (white-coat MVP, far from perfect), but I’d love feedback from both people with real frustrations and builders looking for something useful to work on.
If you have a pain point you keep ranting about, please try submitting it. And if you’re a builder, I’d really appreciate thoughts on what would make this genuinely valuable for you (better discovery, tags, subscriptions to topics, etc.).
Happy to answer any questions and very open to criticism and feature suggestions.

Yes, there are ideas and complaints scattered across Reddit, Twitter, forums, etc., but there doesn’t seem to be one focused place where pain points and solutions directly meet.
So I built a small MVP: https://www.solvemypainpoint.com/
