Find a real problem worth solving

Break down who has the problem and why, grounded in real customer conversations, so you build on evidence instead of a hunch.

The problem

Most startups fail for lack of market need

The number-one killer is building something nobody actually wants.

Starting from a solution

Founders fall in love with a solution before confirming the problem is real.

Interviews done wrong

Leading questions get polite lies, not the truth about the problem.

No shared view of the problem

Without a clear problem definition, the whole venture drifts.

How it works

How Founder sharpens the problem

Map who has the problem, talk to them, and let AI surface the real pain.

1

Map the problem

Fill a problem canvas: the persona, the trigger, and the cost of doing nothing.

2

Log customer discovery

Record real, non-leading interviews in one place.

3

Surface the pain points

AI reads your interviews and pulls out the recurring pain points.

4

Lock a problem to validate

Leave with a clear, sharp problem worth taking to validation.
