"Request for startups" Here is an open list of startups I wish existed in the world, not necessarily those that I will start myself, but my list of pain points/curiosities. Feel free to reply below or DM if you're working on any of these. Happy to help promote/advise if helpful.

"Marketplace for 1:1 or group tutoring, but for adults"
Quote Tweet
KP
@thisiskp_
Good idea or bad? A platform to find & hire private tutors for adults who want to learn and master key life skills (like how to set up financial planning, how to build an audience for my startup etc) Why did we stop getting private tutors after school? 🤔

"A newer reincarnation of Google Reader"
Quote Tweet
KP
@thisiskp_
Bad idea or good idea? A modern take on Google Reader where you can browse and read all your newsletter subscriptions from Substack/Revue/Convertkit etc at one place Maybe throw in some gamification to make sure users actually complete reading newsletters

"Stunning career sites for open roles"
Quote Tweet
KP
@thisiskp_
Good idea or bad?💡 A tool to build/manage beautiful career pages for open roles Make the job description and culture info look 100x better than Lever In this market, hiring great talent for your startup is harder than finding investors or acquiring customers imo

@thisiskp_
Good idea or bad? 🤔 “Superhuman” for LinkedIn Cut 90% of the crap that’s on LinkedIn, build an offering that’s targeted towards busy but high-income knowledge workers Features: Better CRM, sync w/ Twitter contacts etc Charge $19/mo or $200/yr 500k users -> $100m ARR

@thisiskp_
Bad idea or a good idea? Wework but instead of co-working places... how about co-living spaces? Live (short term) anywhere in the world with a simple membership

"Fiverr but without the overwhelming choice paralysis" (maybe editorial/vetted listings only like
@wirecutter
?)
Quote Tweet
KP
@thisiskp_
Good idea or bad? Fiverr, but 10x better In stead of an open marketplace where the 'supply' side is filled with millions of low-signal vendors, only the top 5-10 vetted sellers are listed. Buyers pay a premium for peace of mind Who's building this? Will it work, why/why not?

Quote Tweet

@thisiskp_
Good idea or bad? There are countless amazing events/sessions hosted on Lu.ma or Hopin organized by communities online Many of them are public Is there a "discovery" platform that categorizes these events using attendee persona? (founder, vc, no-coder etc)

"Indie maker advances/grants"
Quote Tweet
KP
@thisiskp_
Good idea or bad idea? “Indie maker advances” Similar to Substack’s writer advances, what if there was a way to invest $2k-$5k in talented makers/builders so they can create paid products And you can earn back your money from a % of the revenue Thoughts 🤔

"Clubhouse but for text" (ok, this might be a dumb idea ... but)
Quote Tweet
KP
@thisiskp_
Good idea or bad idea? Text interviews but done live via a platform that looks like Google Docs The moderator invites a popular guest at a set time & asks questions where the guest types answers real time Everyone else watches it unfold in realtime “Clubhouse for text” 🤔

"A white glove service to help founders level up their PR/marketing game for Republic or Wefunder"
Quote Tweet
KP
@thisiskp_
Startup idea 💡 A productized service/marketplace that helps founders set up for success by preparing them for public crowdfunding campaigns on @Wefunder or @joinrepublic Because that sh*t looks easy but is super hard from what I’m hearing from founder friends
