As a founder, we commonly struggle in identifying a problem worth solving. And we often face challenges in validating whether there is a market of people who would actually pay for the solution.

A simple and effective way to find startup ideas that has a good probability of getting paying customers is to read negative customer reviews.

Places where you can read negative reviews are the following:

  • Apple App Store
  • Google Play
  • WordPress Plugins page
  • Shopify App Store
  • G2
  • ProductHunt

Read what customers are saying about the products. What’s missing? What’s driving them crazy? Those are your clues.

When you see a pattern of frustration, you’ve struck gold. Those are where the existing products are failing and that is your opportunity. You can develop a solution that addresses those pain points.

The benefit of this strategy is you are solving a real problem that customers are experiencing and there is a high probability that they will pay for your solution.
