Hi, I'm an entrepreneur looking for a startup idea.
In my experience, the reason most startups fail is because they never actually solve anyone's problem. So I'm cheating and starting out by identifying a specific person with a specific problem.
So I'm asking you, what's the most annoying part of your life/job? Also, how much would you pay for a solution?
Same problem for me. And I agree, seems like it would take a lot of ingenuity to turn a solution to this problem into a viable business. Maybe products aiding rat-race opt-out strategies, coordination tech enabling 20 hour work weeks.... I don't really have any specific ideas.
But to answer the second question, I feel like I would pay a great deal for something like this. Hard to quantify since solutions offered might be partial, and a total solution might eliminate income, etc.; but just to illustrate (and ignoring things like extreme saving for early retirement, etc.) between the options A. and B. ---
--- I'd gratefully choose option B. (which is just to give a sense of my intuitive preference, not saying I'd defend the merits of that choice necessarily).
You do know that part-time work is a normal and accepted thing?
