I spent about 6 months on an idea one time and it failed. It was a stock photography site/app where people could upload photos from their phone. I thought it was genius. I had no idea the amount of legal stuff it would take for licensing (and also preventing copyrighted work from being uploaded). Model releases, property releases, parental releases, and all needed to be backed up legally. I basically needed to have a team of lawyers to make it work. Then you have to compete with shutterstock and istock. Impossible. Lesson learned.

There are problems to solve everywhere 😊 Take a look at Reddit or Quora, or for that matter Twitter or Facebook. Notice which questions and topics keeps coming up, and pay attention to how people are solving these problems today. Finding problems to solve isn't the hard part. Finding problems that you can build a business around solving is tremendously difficult - that's what this video tries to help you out with 😁

​@@cyril6581 This totally depends on what you want to solve 😁 There are subreddits for almost anything you can imagine (even super niche things). But again (to align with the "dogfooding" principle from the video), pick something you have in-depth knowledge about already. Try to think through the last couple of days... I'm sure there has been tons of small things you've found annoying. Start there - then go to Reddit and search and see if you're the only one. Perhaps you'll find a small tribe of people with that exact problem, and various different creative ways people have tried to solve it. That's your queue ;)

This explains a lot. A lot about validating ideas you already have. Unfortunately, it won't be of any help coming up with something sensible in the first place. Validating random ideas until you find one that seems to at least marginally make sense is hands down stupid.

If you have someone in mind who could be your technical co-founder, go for it. But it's really important that it's a person you know well and have good collaboration with. If not, I'd say it's better to go for it yourself. Check out various no-code solutions like Webflow, Zapier, Airtable. They can get you really far without having to do any coding.
