Need an idea? (alien.top)

Any idea worth pursuing solves a real problem.

Find real problems on theproblemindex.co - a database of problems and potential business ideas.

Great starting point for those who want to start a business, but don't have an idea.

A "solution in search of a problem" is not a good thing. One more thing: If those ideas are so good, you would simply proceed with one of them.

It's a resource to identify problems and problem trends.

If I found that many people were having the same problem, then I would proceed with it - not just because one problem was listed.

I don't see the problems without clicking the 'open' button. Maybe you might want to have the problems listed by default in the front, that would make more sense, I think.

Anyway, good luck.
